Here are some photos that Tamara and I took when installing the cling film into the projection. These sheets are larger that the ususal all being different sizes so the projection alters through it. we also added a strip with slight colour in it too. Enjoy xx

facebook

we commincated alot on facebook. we shared information supported each other and arragned meeting times on there

Its a collaborationnnn

Today Tamara and i set up the projector ontop of my cling film wrap, with a bit more experimentation i think we've got to something, i think that this could look really good but we just need to spend a bit of time on adjusting the projecter to the structure. For Tamara i think this worked really well, however i still haven't got the effect that i want the colours to give off from the light. when looking at the reverse side to the projector the colour is expressed, but on the side its projecting, it doesn't give off the colours as much.

Tomorrow we are meeting again to have another play, and are also join to install some clear sheets of cling film and project onto numerous layers, and see what the outcome is from that! Keep you posted!! 

Examples of ways of presenting photographs

I'm deciding on how I want my final photographs to be arranged. Though I think I have an idea of what I want, I just wanted to post up some other examples.

For Victoria, ..This is what I meant by the corner...

So I have these two walls, I think it just looks good like that, instead of having one flat boring wall.
  It looks more diverse.
If you can request that when you go to the meeting that would be great :) Plus in the actual corner I might make a small thread piece between the photos!

Mark Garbowski

This is the photographer that made the book of photos on New York without people in it 'forever the sleeping city' 

The city that never sleeps and yet he has managed to get photos where it looks like a ghost town.

By The Way

This is a miniature book of photographs that is held within special collections at MMU library. The images document a car journey from Liverpool to Hull. The journey was recorded on video shot in real time. This meant that when ever the car came to a stop on the road the video would take a photograph. In total there are 111 photos within the sequence. The project was created by a group of people called TEA, consisting on Jon Biddulph, Peter Hatton, Val Murray and Lynn Pilling. 

Like the Brendan Dawes photography work that used many photographs in order to create a larger piece I am considering using this idea within my work. I intend to play about with this by creating a route along which I will take photos. 

Gabriel Dawe

Gabriel Dawe was born in Mexico City where he grew up surrounded by the intensity and color of Mexican culture. He was eventually led to explore textiles and embroidery.


"Activities traditionally associated with women and which were forbidden for a boy growing up in Mexico. Because of this, his work is subversive of notions of masculinity and machismo that are so ingrained in his culture".
Overall an amazing example of one of the different ways to tranform thread into great instalations.

Some images of my final piece

QR Code Island

This is an interesting combination of high-tech and low-tech. Made by Mat Barnes and Eddie Blake, it uses the traditional art of model making, I remember going to a whole museum like this when I was little and I was fascinated by the miniature scenes of the English Countryside and tiny people.  However when you look at it from above it reads as a QR code that can be scanned by a smartphone and leads to a secret website…

Screw Art

Andrew Meyers uses hundreds of screws at different levels to create shading and tones in his huge 3D portraits.  He uses an electric screwdriver to drive his work straight into the wall; it’s amazing how realistic he makes the faces using just screws.  Up close it looks like a bunch of screws but from a distance the image becomes clear.

Miguel Villalobos

I wanted to do more research into creating line/thread sculptural pieces, and develop my work in through looking at these artists different methods.

Because I'm using dark lines in my project, I've been researching into artists ways of using dark lines such as this embroidery peice. I like how some lines are so controlled, and some thread pieces are left drifting. So detailed and delicate.

Jannick Deslauriers

Artist Jannick Deslauriers emphasizes art’s most fragile elements, through a mass of translucent fabric. Her delicate fibre art spins out thread sculptures that send strong messages, covering the ghosts of cities, people and of war. (Above: Piano, 2010-11, crinoline, rigid mesh, organza and thread).

Random

Sometimes when I come across interesting images, I can never find out who is behind them and its very frustrating. If anyone knows please do tell!
But anyway, yes just came across these pictures and thought they were worth looking at.

Junk Portraits

Zac Freeman makes these large scale portraits with pieces of junk.  It’s interesting that these portraits only come to life when seen from a distance, but I love looking up close at all the random stuff he uses like dominos, little green army men, dolls, train tracks etc.  It must have taken him an extremely long time to match all the colours so effectively.  This reminds me of my previous post about the exhibition at the Barbican with all the possessions laid out and the saying ‘waste not, want not’.
