Naturey Culturey Drawings…

The brief is simply the title, Nature As Culture, so its just a case of me finding what I want to do within that.

I’m looking at what it is I like in the work I have been doing over the summer, as well as what I had been doing previously at the sculpture workshop, namely the idea of putting real thought and care into the usually fairly subconcious decisions anyone makes when making ‘art’. So I am trying to merge those ideals, but with something a little bit out of my comfort zone, so instead of using the buildings and cityscapes that I enjoy doing, I’m kinda looking at Nature…It doesnt lend itself to the ideal quite as well but either way, I have been making collage type multimedia images and drawings and hopefully something will start to formulate.

As it stands, Im thinking of making a very ‘man-made’ style object from organice materials, something I touched upon during the summer but didnt pursue…So the idea of making a factory style machine, but with old, weathered wood and pegs and what not….Like I say, early days, hopefully it’l get better…

Got my first brief the other day, Nature as Nurture…Gonna start posting about that as soon as I have some ideas floating about, at the moment, I’m looking at some of the collage type works by Helen Frankenthaler and considering something along those lines, but its early days…

 

Also, thinking of making a new ‘Page’ witht he aim of continuing the TED project whenever I get some spare time.

Hope all is well…
