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.
