Life Drawing

Linear bodies

One of the key things that I learnt from doing my footnotes assignment on 'How To See The World' was the significance of taking a step back from detail, and seeing things in their simplest forms."We assemble a world from pieces, assuming that what we see s both coherent and equivalent to reality".This inspired me to explore how I can use shapes and lines to break down complexity, implying figures and going beyond the surface, and almost through the detail and into a new way of seeing.

Aspect Lecture #1 Space

Art is dangerous.


Here are some notes I took from the first Aspect Lecture on 'space' by Richard Allen.

In summary the things I took from the lecture were ideas on how proximity and the intention of the work affect the relationship between the art and the viewer- I think it is important to make whoever's looking at the work think about what they are seeing.

I was also interested by Janet Cardiff's 'Opera for a Small Room' (2005) and want to look further into how installations can be linked with sound and wallpaper.
