Robert crumb

feel stood as me and Nathan haven't started this brief yet. (due to another brief) I wanted to rant on my blog to see if I can get my head together.

had a discussion with Jon, he told me some artists and how I can get my head together. I wanted to show sexuality in this piece, but not to in-depth ignorer for it to come across to serious. therefore he showed me Rebecca warren who creates soft clay, and plaster sculptures using he inspiration from Robert crumb. taking the mess out of his artwork.

I like the raw materials she uses, to firing he clay, and ho she casts previous work, and then taking the lefts overs of the pieces she's casting and cast again. I feel I need to work on this, reusing artwork as I feel it will progress more but will also save a lot of materials.
she also has a femistis approach to her work but doesn't take it to seriously, she makes them funny with the way she positions them and shows her work, with hight points an plaints with wheels on them.

female from taking characterists from crumbs work. how crumb portrays woman in his comics, structurally standing, big bumps,big boobs, and thick thighs on the female form.



I feel this is a good start for m to work from.

after coming back from the end of the first term i have gone back to work that was dating or left over the week.

after the last fridays lesson i left some disolvable fabric which stitched thread in it, to dry and see if it would keep its shape of a dropped effect. and it did.
After showing Emily the piece she said it reminds her of the shapes and positions of mcleans work as his body drapes over the plinths, with the boys structure making a sculpture out of both the body and the involvement of the plinths changing his positions of the body.

plinths 3

bruce Mclean's work reflects well on the work me and Nathan preferment using chairs and letting the chairs change our positions as Mclean portrayed in his with the artwork plinth 3. i like the concept of the use of all 3 plinths and they way he poses to create an


he didn't like the idea of his work being labelled as performance art, he stated that he's a sculptor who makes live art.
he is trying to not define what sculpture could be. which related to the fluxes movement e are looking at.making a piece of artwork different and out of our comfort zone.

after creating the chair piece with Nathan i feel now looking at clean's work it starts to make sense of what we actually did. i felt a little stupid preforming but now ready what bruce Mclean said i feel the i don't have to define performance at i can call it something different.


performance art to me seems kind of childish and feel that my work isn't learning that way. i want my work to have a more professional approach to it. more structured and have some sort of meaning to give my work purpose. rather than just screaming or painting, wearing something strange.

this blog is helping me get my head together, sorting out my ideas and also getting some sort of structure in my artwork through my blog. my thoughts are learning towards changing the concept in mien and nathan's work, not narrowing down just to one concept of the piece but winding it and expanding to try and get a more structured piece which our heads together so we can gain something. although i have gained something just from doing it i feel the expansion of the piece will help me further. need to research and watch the video again! infant multiple times so i can investigate and stop the video and learn each others steps and poses.

i feel my ideas starting the piece was very narrow of my ideas being the different portions both and man and a woman can drop it society without looking to girly (man) or to sexual (woman)
or my other idea was to not define the way we have to sit on a chair why can't we stand on it. why do we move around it and not work over it. the same as a table why to see sit up to it, eat on it, write on it, why can't we use the table as a chair, why are all things defined to one thing. who made them things be what they are? and why can't we change them? i mean we probable can as society drills everything into our heads that we cannot change. its our nature to sit in a chair and walk around a table, because thats what everybody does.

reflecting video

found a artist from pintrest. its hard to find artist from pintest due to people saving them on there accounts, but i found although who really inspired me.

Maria Batuszova

she creates ceramic pieces using plaster and making the sculptures look like balloons with string around them. i like the visual effect of the indents in the plaster made by the string. i feel she will inspire my work greatly and i want to use a simular effect to how maria Batuszova creates in her work.

another artist who inspired me, also on pintrest was...

Michelle Carla Handle

how also creates sculptures but in a more unique way. using fabrics. like cottons and rope to make adaptations of sculpture. i like the materials she uses and i want to uncoperate this into my work. by just usingn the raw fabrics than using plaster as well. i feel i need to investigate more into using diffrent materilas than just sticking with the same all the time. as then my work will develop.

materilas. cotton rope, wood, silicon rubber, foam fabric.

she incoperates the use of plaster in this piece. which relates to mine ,but what faninates me most is the may she uses a heavy substance (plaster and is able to use a weight to suspend the sculpture with a weight. this also links with my theme wight and i want to try and incopate this into my work (being able to use a weight and suspend a heavy object rather than light.
