Context Report

Inspired by Eastern philosophies and tradition, I began to think about how these ideas could be applied to modern thought. The practise of yoga and meditation are routines which are becoming modernised and used particularly by younger people: as people are more aware of mental and personal well-being, these types of routines and structures help us to organise the mind. I'm interested in the way Eastern philosophies relate to modern day and have differences and parallels with branches of thought like existentialism.  The subject of the self, the spiritual and 'otherness' influenced me: the idea of creating a setting, much like Rothko's Chapel; a place of meditation or deep contemplation. On visiting the work of Anthony McCall, I noticed the ways a minimalist concept, like using moving lights in a dark space, could make a person become aware of themselves. I tried my own experiments with light by making a wooden stencil and shining torches on to the wall. I liked th...

The Final Piece...

After all the stress of applying to university, the interviews, finishing my pathway project, I've finally had some time to get back into writing. And it feels excellent! I thought I would dedicate this post to my last project, A Word A Day: Feminism.

I have always been very much a fine artist, and I don't think this will change any time soon. However, being determined to push my own limits, I experimented with 3D methods for the first time and have become enamoured with the world of Plaster of Paris and dental alginate! I began my project with experimenting with the power of printing and recording and one of my most successful (and memorable) discoveries was printing my nipple.

"Chance doesn't recognise boundaries"

When I say I've delved deep for this project: you have absolutely no idea. I mentioned in my previous post about letting go and having fun with this project, and it's only JUST becoming possible for me to do so. It was a lot harder to say than to do, worryingly and surprisingly! This idea of allowing things to go wrong, the relish of being free to make mistakes: it's all rather foreign to me. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself, but the truth is it's a lot harder to let go than people say it is. In fact, I've found it near impossible. However finally, we have lift off. I knew that FMP was supposed to be challenging, but believe me, the stress I have encountered in the early stages of this project was unbearable: trying to pick my brain for the most PERFECT theme, the MOST COMPLEX concept, the BIGGEST ideas - I quite frankly drove myself insane before I realised that there are no perfect ideas, there are no right answers and there is no wrong. I realised that ...
