Installation with projection

I feel projecting onto this subject has emphasized a sense of gestural movement, as the video captures notions, almost creating an organic atmosphere. The projection has manipulated  the surface of  the installation unexpectedly creating a unbalanced atmosphere, intimidating the audience making them feel uncomfortable. The colour within the video have depicted a natural habitat capturing elements of flesh and blood like substances, reflecting almost circulations highlighting life reflecting the developing fetus.

The subtle colour pallet has intensified a spiritual atmosphere, which doesn't capture a peace sense of nostalgia therefore I don't think this subject is successful. Although I find it interesting how the project has picked up the layers of materials highlighting a sense of depth reflecting the dominance of protection within the subject.

This piece highlights the strong barrier of protection, shielding the delicate subjects.

I find this photograph successful as it portrays a positive atmosphere, capturing a clinical element highlighting purity and a blood like substance creating the persona of the inside body. It creates an almost surreal atmosphere, reflecting the fluidity of the amniotic fluid, as the suspended piece evolve and adjust to the environment moving gestural, the shadows follow intensifying the security of the piece as it completely surrounds the atmosphere.

This piece creates a strong element of purity reflecting almost a cradle, and comfort blanket, but it captures a element of uncertainty which could reflect emotions within my complex concept. I feel the simplistic colour pallet is cold which creates a sense of negativity therefore I don't think this is successful.

I feel this projection amongst the darkness takes the depth of my practice further, emphasizing a surreal atmosphere,  it is almost like a night light or projecting the insides of the human body, illuminating the sensitive subject, and capturing the natural elements of protection of the amniotic fluid bag. The notion of materials creating a sense of fluidity creating a calm atmosphere highlighting a presence of the unborn fetus.  

Experimentation

I wanted to experiment with the sensual feeling of interacting with fluid media to capture that texture and moist element as I wanted to in my earlier explorations.

I find the layered of different materials within this piece intriguing as it creates a uncomfortable and revolting sense feeling the subject, and a blood like substance creating a sense of realism.

I have experimented with a combination of materials to combine both structural subjects, within my installation, I would like to experiment further with the presentation of this piece but unfortunately I have insuccfient time to explore this, I may in future development experiment further. I feel the intricate pieces layered into the organic substances emphasizes a spiritual presence within the subject.

Installation

These photographs document my experimentation for presentation in order to capture different technique to portray my concept. I have presented my work in a individual room, as it inhabits in its surrounds creating a calm atmosphere, personalizing the room suggestive to a homely essence. Although within my assessment I have been located my bay, therefore I will have lose a harmony essence within the surroundings.

Theres a strong element of purity within this piece, highlighting a clinical essence. Each individual subject is suspended capturing movement reflecting the organic nature of the amniotic fluid.

This highlights a sense of protection, as the perspective of the material reacts almost like a barrier protecting the inner delicates. The knitting is restricting the viewer from observing the intricate pieces, almost defending them.

This photograph invades into the barriers, almost stuck in between suggestive they have been dominated. The thread distorts the photographs highlighting the dominance, in the foreground the delicate subject are suspending gestural creating a sense of sensitivity and movement highlighting a spiritual presence. The pieces are interlinked and capture the effects of the environment therefore it highlights the life cycle and a sense of growth.

I find this photograph interesting as it circulates the inner body symbolising the amniotic fluid bag within the womb. The delicate blankets replicate a sense of protection reflecting the amniotic fluid bag withholding sensitive fluid which surround the fetus protecting creating a surreal atmosphere. I feel my installation highlights a sense of nostalgia reflecting upon childhoods, as I have used childish contexts to highlight my personal concept.

I wanted to incorporate almost a tent emphasising a sense of comfort within the piece, which is almost childlike, it creates a surreal atmosphere almost homely. The layered knitting highlights a sense of protection and it almost shields the delicate subjects away.

Art History Presentation

The Comparison of Henry Moore(Left) and John Walker(Right) 

I have decided to compare Henry Moore and John Walker.

 Henry Moore was an English sculptor and artist born in 1898, and known best for his bronze monumental sculpture public art. 

John Walker is an English Painter and Printmaker born in 1939.

Watercolour, gouache, ink and chalk on paper

At age 18 Moore volunteered for an army service, in which in 1917 he was injured in a gas attack during the Battle of Cambrai.

He then went on to study at Leeds College of Art continuing his education after the war where later in his life, he became a teacher at Chelsea School of Art in London.

This is when he started to create his commissioned drawings as a war artist, as during teaching, the College had to be evacuated to Northampton due to the Outbreak of World War Two where the War Artist Advisory Committee had offered Moore a job.

Walker was Influenced from his personal experience of seeing his dad injured and mentally scarred from the Battle of the Sommes War in 1916, as his father had difficulty of telling stories from this point, he couldn’t recollect the battle.

The two pieces in comparison have strong similarities as they are both conceptually focused on a War.

The colour pallets is limited creating a dull atmosphere, it almost makes the figures lifeless within the piece, reminiscent of a skeleton.

Mark Making – The mark making is scratchy and scribbly, creating a chaotic atmosphere, the line quality is rough suggestive to the conditions and horrific emotions of fear.

The compositions are different as Moore has captured a perspective of the entire room, as he was creating primary drawings and had experienced this himself. It creates a honest subject, reflecting an insight into the realistic war impacts.  The room feels full but so empty, reflecting the feeling on weakness not being able to control what is happening around him.

Whereas Walker has drew from different materials not the actual experience of seeing it himself, he’s created a personal subject, focusing on symbolism of the sheep skulls to suggest his fathers specific experience.

Walker has created Etchings, which is a process in comparison to using easier materials such as Ink, Watercolour, Crayon in which he used on Location.

I have recently presented this presentation to my peers within our Art History Seminar Groups, I feel I could have rehearsed this presentation in order to present this engaging my audience better, I will reflect upon this experience and in the future react upon my findings.
