Week Two

 

This week I began working outside of my sketchbook with three dimensional pieces. Above is a selection of work I did in my sketchbook and sculptural pieces I made this week. I based my sculptures off the idea that if you look at an object through water you will distort the object and change how we sense space and the space around an object. I took the simple shape of a salt shaker and photographed it through a bowl of water. I then used these photographs to design 3D pieces.  I made the pieces out of wire, paper and fabric. Next week I think I will start making my ideas more conceptual and working on a stronger connection between my ideas and my work.  

Week One Progress

I started my first semester brief this week in college. The title of the brief is "To Sense My Space". Here is a collection of images that I took from my sketchbook of my weeks work. I started with brainstorming the sentence; “To Sense My Space”. I decided I would start my project by studying how my senses influence my perception of space. I began taking photographs through glass and water to see what effects that had on how I saw the spaces around me. I also made studies of rooms in different levels of light to see how a lack of light changes my perception of a space. I have also started looking into optical art and how we make incorrect assumptions about space based on our senses. Next week I will begin experimenting with three dimensional pieces in space and how my senses interact with these objects.
