Over the past 3/4 weeks I have been attending our textiles workshop, which is interlinked with the integrated practice module. Throughout this time, I have learned a number of different skills which I feel are going to be extremely benficial, particulary for my integrated project and also my applied practice project.
Skills learned are as follows:
Making laxtex and the incorporation of inks and other materials to create different textures
Knitting
Silk paper
All of the above skills are ones which I thought would never interest me, however, i've been proved wrong. I realise that I am able to apply these skills in a number of different ways, depending on the project and the direction I am intending to take it. For example, the use of silk paper, is something that I am wanting to take forward within my non-place brief, as I feel it relates extremely well to the concept but will also work for displaying purposes.
The textiles workshop has proved to be the most interesting and beneficial workshop to date and is one that I am interested in developing.
Watch this space for uploads of my work...once it eventually lets me upload images :)

People defined as a non-place...Getting nowhere
At this stage of the project for non-place, I should be well through the experimental and development stage, however, as per usual I have hit a brick wall and seriously struggling. Although I have a clear image of how I would like my final artwork, I have yet to experiment with a variety of different materials, which will enable me to progress.
As it is an installation piece I am wanting to create, materials required are all within the college campus....not much help as we've been off all week. However, I have managed to produce a number of sketches as to how I can apply my concept in a 2D manner.
Materials I wish to experiment with are as follows:
Modroc
Wire
Plaster
Latex
Silk paper
The material I am most eager to use with reagards to a final piece is silk paper. This was a process taught during our last textiles workshop. It is a relatively easy and quick process, however a vast amount of the materials may be required. Due to the fact it is such as weightless material, it will make displaying the artwork relatively easy (hopefully).
I know the materials I want to use, I just need to confidence to go forward and experiment. Needing more confidence...story of my life.
Time if of the essence as the submission is a short 2 weeks away.
Time to get cracking......
Photo documentation of progress will be updated soon.....

Self-Reflection, Self-Image
Applied Practice: Multiples
For this module we are required to produce a "structured body of creative art of design work".
In response to the brief, I was immediately drawn to the idea of using myself as the basis for the project. The majority of my work concerns itself with other people and issues within society that I am interested in, however, for some time I have been interested in focusing on myself rather than the lives of other people.
Below is my stated PLP (personal learning plan)
Statement of Intent:
In response to the theme of multiples, my approach is to look into the concept of Self-Reflection, Self Image, thus my intention for this brief is to focus in on myself rather than that of other people. My aim for thie project is to deal with the ways in which I see myself in terms of my over appearance, something that has, for many years, been somewhat of a negative aspect of my adolescence. The way in which I intend to convey my concept is by producing multiples drawings, illustrating different aspects of myself that I am particularly self-conscious about.
Methods, Materials and Processes:
Responding the theme and concept of the project but also to the module Applied Practice, where by integrating all methods, materials and processes learned to date, is necessary; I intend to work within all realms of, drawing, painting, printmaking and also photography. there are all areas by which I am deeply interested in an am eager to develop further throughout the duration of thie brief. I feel that these methods will be beneficial in the successful progress and development of the concept. By working and experimenting with such as vast range of media, I feel they will allow me to fully express myself with regards to the concept of "Self-reflection, Self-Image but also allow me to overcome the ideas about the way in which I perceive myself.
Proposed Research:
Initial research carried out will be focused on the work of artists who concern their work with producing multiples, however, progressing on from this and gaining the knowledge requried, I intend to research into the work of artists who focus of portraiture, whether it be through photography, painting etc.
Research of artists include:
Monika grzymala allan McCollum David Bachelor David Bailey
Chuck Close Joghn Coplan Tracy Emin
Expected Outcomes:
The intended outcome for this brief is to create an artwork which works both aesthetically and conceptually. My intention for a final artwork is to produce a collection of 2D multiples which reflect aspects of myself that I feel self-conscious about. the artwork must clearly demonstrate an understanding of the initial brief but must also be relevant to the theme of multiples. there must also be evidence of in depth research and experimental/development work which shows a clear progression to the final piece(s)

People defined as a non-place
Marc Auge:
"...non-places are temporary spaces for passage..."
This statement has provided me with a starting point with regards to the direction I wish to take this project. In response to this, my approach is to define people as a "non-place".
Within this concept I intend to explore the idea that our bodies are merely vessels with the sole purpose of being interacted with. Your body is a temporary form, and I feel that it is a physical form of what does not fully exist: for example your soul/conscience.Your soul/conscience is intangible, it merely passes through your physical state for the length of time that you are alive.
"Your soul is conscience, your conscience is energy which has no form or location."
My intention for this project is to further my knowledge of spirituality and how I can apply this research to the successful concept development of the project. Also supporting my concept will be the research into the work of contemporary artists whose work looks at the theme of non-place, the methods and materials in which they use.
Artists' include: anish Kapoor, Linda Hutchison, Linda Green, Klaus titze, Jason Wallengren and Antony Gormley.
My main focus shall be on the work of Antony Gormley and the concepts behind his work: the human form with regards to human space in space and the relationship between the two.
Further consideration will need to given as to the suitable materials, processes and methods and also the expected outcome of the project. Currently, I am considering the use of installation as the product of a final art piece.
