We all entered this week with the assumption that we needed to do an individual response to whichever theme we hadn't yet tackled. For me that was ENDING.
However, Maddie decided that rather than work on an individual theme, what would be a better move for our class would be to focus more on collaborating and making your space work - and making the space as a whole work collectively. So whilst we still had things to work on individually this week was all about working together to get the best result for everyone.
In regards to my pyramid work from last week, Maddie and I discussed how to improve it, incorporate ENDING, and make relations to the rest of the space.
- We talked about deconstruction, and making part pyramids having them come to an end - this would reference Matt's work with the puzzle pieces etc.
- The possibility of painting/drawing on the wall - painting the shadows?
- Introducing grey/purple from Mikayla's bunting triangles?
Group thoughts in our space:
- Maddie's bridging - she is looking at doing a floor sculpture that you have to walk over, and potentially doing a structure from her web to the beam as well to give a real tunneled feeling, and provide a definite change/entrance to our space.
- Paint the floors and white out any imperfections - we've decided our area is more about clean, elegant lines, rather than the history of the space which is being utilised on the other side of the room.
This would also help Maddie's bridging feel more significant. There would be a direct change between the spaces.
- We decided that the sponging around the edge of Mikayla's work from last week wasn't working in our space, and it needed to go back to the clean lines of the square.
- Courtney's bubbles around the anatomical bird also weren't working in our space - the blue didn't link in with other colours in the space, and the circular shape also wasn't fitting with our aesthetic.
- Hope decided to get rid of her camera obscura which was sad but she wasn't to make smaller kind of head versions, so will have boxes along our bare wall which should be really cool. The squareness of them will also work really well in the space.
- Skye H. is going to bridge the gap between her and Mikayla's work by editing her fabric so it doesn't hang in a straight line, and also extend her mirrored prisms out to meet up with Mikayla's triangles.
- Skye T. is looking to adjust the hanging of her door, and looking into the idea of a doormat with the circular pattern that relates to Matt's puzzle pieces.
- Matt is going to do a mini scape in the corner below Issac's first work. This will provide a good link to the other side of our space.
- We need to introduce hints of colour to the side of the room I have been working on, and the other side needs to introduce blacks and greys.
