Last Three Weeks; Resolved Pieces!

Since it`s been a week since I updated about my last three weeks at university, I thought I would try and explain my final resolved pieces of work.

Seeing as I didn`t know what to do with the prints, and that my frame of work was to work within a box or within a frame; I was pretty lost for the first two weeks of work, and during the third week, the last week, I had a huge panic and had to talk to the tutors about what I could possibly do.

I began to mess around with simply wrapping boxes with the prints that I made, and then the prints that where on thin plastic sheets where put inside so you can see the messages... I think I`ve already talked about this before.
But in the end that just didn`t work, and the sheets wouldn`t stay in place and it just didn`t work out correctly which was unbelievably frustrating.

That idea went out of the window quite quickly, I had to just leave the plastic sheets alone and they`ve just sat in a folder floating around my workspace. I never actually used the plastic sheets in the end, I thought I would be able to find a use for them with my box idea but that went out of the window again.

After working with the layered sheets and the boxes that they sat in, I spoke to Dennis and Jeremy and they both agreed with leaving my work as just regular boxes.
At first I made some small practice boxes that looked quite colourful and had been printed on to newspaper, It was the inks that I had used that made them look too bright and vivid for what I was going to do.

So, one of the main ideas as that we switched the coloured inks to just plain black and then we print on to white, then another idea was that we use white ink and then print onto black paper.
I managed to get quite a few examples of that done, and a few small boxes covered in them finished. But then when I put them all together they looked nicely finished and refined but in-finished.
So the white on black, and black on white prints where good examples but then they didn`t work in the end... Like almost everything else I`d been experimenting with.

After the discussion with Dennis and Jeremy and after going through what I could possibly do, we did discuss possibly printing on to wrapping paper.
The idea behind this is a bit weird; when you go on your phone and you`ve received a message you would expect it to be from your friend or family member who`s just chatting to you or just wants to see how your doing. So really, you expect it to be something nice; which is where the present idea comes in.
You expect a nice message and not something that`s harassing and degrading, and you expect it to be from someone you already know; not some weird 52 year old man who wants to know if you enjoy "anal".

So, after having such a basic idea of working with small boxes, we decided to go forward and begin to print on top of wrapping paper. The idea is that we`ve turned something that`s supposed to be friendly and nice to you, into something that`s harassing and disgusting.

So from turning messages from something personal, private and welcoming; we`ve now turned presents into the same kind of thing. Presents that are supposed to be nice and giving, have been turned into boxes that are harassing and are basically taking the piss out of you.

The printing onto wrapping paper idea worked really well and the prints came out quite clean. I used mostly black inks on the brown paper and the gold and pink paper. The calligraphy font worked really well especially on the gold.
Something fancy, pretty and attractive looking was turned into something that`s harassing and unsettling to see.

Basically, I winged it.
Because of the framework that we had to work within, and because we had to work with what we had done over the past nine weeks; I was seriously stuck for ideas.
If I was just left to do whatever I wanted with my final thing/resolved piece then I feel like I would of been able to produce a much better final piece.

We`ve been given the next module to be working on over the holidays, so I`m hoping that over Christmas I can get quite a bit of work finished to then take back over the holidays.
My next project, is hopefully going to be a lot better than this one, I`ve enjoyed being inducted into the whole studio environment but I want to get on with my own work now we`ve got this project over and done with.

Last three weeks; Print Work!

 

After working with sound for a week in a freezing cold church in the middle of Derby, we only had three weeks left of university. I have finished and handed in all of my work now, I`ve just found the time to be able to upload some of my print work here for everyone to see!

But first I need to give everyone a bit of context since my work was seen a slightly offensive by some people.

At the beginning of the year we all bought objects in, three of the same; and you would of read about this in previous posts aswell.
We`ve been working with those same objects for like 11 weeks now, and we`re all getting pretty bloody sick of them too. So for the last three weeks of our first semester, we where told to work with our objects and put them into Context, my objects where three different phones.
So for my items, I thought about what our generation uses the most when on their phones; which is obviously social media. That`s literally all we use our phones for these days, so I used social media to put my phones in to context.

But what`s the first thing you`ll think of when it comes to social media? Celebrities, selfies, group photos, Instagram? Well, I didn`t want to focus on self-image and the way we see ourselves and others when online. Instead, I focused on what we get in response to putting our images online. To get a response, I`ve been using facebook a lot more, Instagram and Meetme like seriouslyyyy active in order to get a response out people.
These aren`t rude or inappropriate selfies at all, These are just normal day to day messages that I receive, that`s almost everyday. The only thing is that I now just see these messages as normal because I receive quite a lot of them on Meetme.

So then, to put my phones into context, I began to start collecting the messages I was being sent on a daily basis. Looking through them was seriously strange, I got so many weird creepy ones from people who where like 40 years plus!
I haven`t even replied to these, I`ve literally just opened the messages, taken a screenshot and then closed it again. In one day I tried to delete all of the messages I got from the day before and there was 74 messages that I deleted, 74 messages in one day just for uploading a selfie of myself!

So, I had my context, and some messages to begin working off. But then I needed to find my form of producing the work.
We where given a framework to work within, or work around. So Carl (head of the course), said that the framework should just be that we use the techniques we`ve been working with for the past 9 weeks; printing, plaster, wood and metal, etc. Then Dennis and Jeremy come along with they`re meeting, and then everyone got it into their heads that we had to work purely with a box shape.

It was quite frustrating since Carl did seem somewhat laid back about what we needed to do, and the Dennis and Jeremy seemed very straight forward when it came to working within a box or a boxed frame. It`s frustrating because Dennis and Jeremy seem to conflict with Carls ideas and plans.

Anyways, I began to print quite a bit; I managed to get about 75 prints done on to plastic sheets, packaging sheets and newspaper paper, (also some black card for experiments). I did really produce that many coloured prints, and the ones that where coloured where then used for practice pieces for my work.

I initially had this idea of working with a box, covered in the harassing/inappropriate messages and then have plastic sheets inside that all of have prints on them. Kind of like a layering effect with the plastic and through each one you can see new messages appearing.

But then that idea was scrapped, I managed to do quite a few practice pieces for that Idea and I worked with creating different sized boxes. I must of used about 7 different screens with different texts on them. Three of the screens didn`t even work, so I spent ages putting them on and then taking them off to then try and put them back on again. I also messed around quite a bit with the way the text was laid out, and what messages I was going to use to put the texts together. So there was so many weird little tests I did with words I pulled out from messages, and quite a few bothered Carl a little bit; whenever I talked about it, he seemed slightly concerned about what was coming through on my phone.



I`m going to upload some more Print work on here, then in the next update I`m going to show you my semi-final/resolved piece of work that I used all of the prints for.
Also, it links in with Christmas!

How was my first Semester?

Well, the last week of University has gone extremely quickly; I`m not going to discuss my final piece on here though, I want to save that for my art blog since it`s been a while since I updated on there. Plus, I could do with putting some kind of updated work on there right now...

Tomorrow is my last day at University, before I break up from University for the next five weeks or so. In between that time, I will be given a new module to be working on and I`ll be picking up a few more shifts at my part time job in the care home.

This first semester has been seriously weird for me, University is just a completely different environment that you somehow have to adjust too at the click of a finger.
To begin with, I don`t even live in accommodation, so to get to University it takes me about an hour or so travel time; that`s to walk to the bus stop, get the bus, walk half way through Derby and getting into Uni. Just that in itself is rather tiring, and I have thought about moving out for my second year since I`m not too sure if travelling will be best for me when it comes to producing some more serious pieces of work.

Then the whole studio atmosphere is really strange and hard to get used too.
The 33 of us got split up into three different groups of 11, and my group was completely separated from the the other 2 groups; meaning that we didn`t get too see them that much too start off with. You get a small desk to begin with and the second and third years work busily around you... Just seeing them working gives you some sort of insight into what you`re going to be doing in the upcoming semesters.

Then the lectures, there`s three different lectures and they all come in on different days. Because they`re all in at different times, you have to begin planning out what you`re going to be doing and who`s help you`re going to need on different days. It can also be like that when it comes to the different Technicians, you practically have to hunt them down if you need help since they all get so busy during the day.

The whole University experience has been extremely strange for me, it`s nothing like they tell you it`s going to be... And I do mean that in a good way! It`s just that when the students come round and tell you everything you need to get ready for University, you don`t really need it. It`s like you actually panic for nothing.

You`ll make friends and you`ll lose them even quicker than making them! Fresher`s is bloody pointless, you miss all of the important stuff during your first few weeks and you don`t want to leave your flat at all because of your vomit covered floor and clothes. They big up all of the parties and nights out, but you miss out on vital information, you make drunken mistakes, drunken arguments and then get yelled at for not attending university for the past few days... Fresher`s is literally; get drunk, vomit, get yelled at, vomit some more.

The overall experience for me has been pretty great; I`ve only been out 4 times actually, and each time I`ve gone into university the next day and got on with my work... And each time I`ve swore that I`ll never drink again, that doesn`t work by the way.
The studio space I work in is huge and I love it! Mainly because we`re also based around the second and third years work spaces; so we get to be nosey and talk to them about the course and what we`re going to do over the next few semesters. Since Derby only accepts a small amount of people aswell, we all get our own workspace and a lot of one on one time with the tutors.

Next year, I genuinely don`t quite know what to expect.
I know that the tutors are defiantly taking a huge step back, and we become a lot more independent in the way that we work and what we start to produce. Over the next five weeks that I have off at Christmas, I also need to get quite a bit of journal work finished and I need to begin thinking about what I`m going to begin producing over the holidays.

We need to being working off of two words.
The first word has to like to the Form of what we`ll be producing, for example; 2D, 3D, photography, multi-media.
Then the second word has to be the content.
I`ve already got a few ideas, and I know for definite that I`ll be working with multi-media, but then I don`t know what the content of that work would be... Something like abandonment and then I begin working from photographs of abandoned buildings or abandoned objects that I`ve come across.
Multi-Media Abandonment... Not too sure yet.

Sound Work From St.Werburghs Church!

For the past week, the first year Fine Art group had to work in a 850 year old church that had no heating or lighting inside whatsoever.

Within this week, we where all put into groups, and our teacher Caroline made it pretty easy by just leaving us with the people we sat down with when we went to our first lecture with her. So I was luckily with Liam, Richard, Alicia and Sophie; all of whom I get along with really well and we all worked really well in a group together.

To begin with we had to book loads of equipment out of the Equipment Centre; now if there are any damages to the items we borrow then we can be fined up till £2500 each, and if anything is a day over due, you can be charged up to £30 per day.

We where struggling with booking out equipment, we had quite a few problems actually... For starts, everything was already booked out. I managed to get out the MacBook, but no projector. And we`d already began to work on stuff with the projector. So no projector, but we managed to book out some lighting. When I picked up the lights on Tuesday, the lights I wanted had apparently broken so I couldn`t have them; instead of the flood lights, yes a floodlight, so they gave me red heads 8000. When we got them back to the church, we where given a set of three but just one was too bright for the room and we had to take them back on the same day.

The only items we had no problems with was the MacBook and the speakers.

We spent Monday starting the basic editing, and then the Tuesday was more about setting up our spaces and testing out what we`d made the day before.
Friday we had our final presentations, where we had to play our work in front of the whole class. It was seriously weird to have everyone in our year stood in a tiny dark room with no lighting whatsoever. We just had our sound work playing really, really loudly to try and portray what it was we wanted.

Our work was supposed to portray what it`s like for a blind person to go about everyday life. Which is why we wanted to use a tiny bit of lighting either with projections or large lighting within the room. We read books on blind people and read things online about what blind people can see, that`s if they have a little bit of sight left.
Because the original lights had broken, and the others where way too bright to even use. Me and Liam devised a little plan to try and use the flash on our cameras, which we had struggled to time right cause we both randomly tried to use our flashes at different random times.

It was seriously hard to do, I`d never even worked with sound before, and at Sixth form, we never even worked in groups and everything we did was individual stuff.
This was a seriously tough week... I also messed up quite a bit by going out Thursday night and hen not getting any sleep whatsoever back at Davids flat. I still managed to make it in, only just though. I was seriously sick after going out, but I crawled back in about 10am to help my group. I gave them everything so they could get on with the presentations, I felt like I would of just vomited everywhere if I got up and went in on time, it was horrible.

I`m happy I managed to get in, my lecturer said she would of been disappointed because of the amount of work we`ve been putting into what we`ve been doing.
I would of been pretty disappointed in myself to be honest, we`ve all worked our arsses off this week and that Church is a lovely place, but horrible to work in. It was hard, and I feel like everyone else`s work was better than ours in the end. Ugh, I`m never working with sound again... It was sooo frustrating to do.

I`m not sure if I can upload the sound file, it would be really cool if I could though; the recordings in it are taken  from our everyday lives, conversations and activities in the studios. So everything we did was our own work, and it took us a long time to collect all of that together in time for this week.

I`ll see if I can upload the sound work, if I can`t... Then I`m sorry!!

Casting work!

This past week as probably been one of the most enjoyable of the induction weeks so far.
Basically, I thought that the induction weeks where over since we finished three weeks of working with wire, paper and cardboard and photoshop... But we had a few more slightly more complex weeks ahead of us, that all involve using different areas and equipment around the studios.

The title of the post is pretty much self-explanatory; I`ve been producing casting work for the past week now. It`s been a lot more interesting to produce, and I don`t mean that in a bad way against the lecturers, basically they just wanted us to start off with a tiny idea taken from an object, which meant that all of the work we made was taken from very, very basic materials and objects.


It`s why I`m seriously excited that I`ve been able to do something that finally moves away from those basic materials that I`ve had to use the past couple of weeks. I haven`t actually done plaster casting before, which probably sounds seriously stupid to be honest. Like everyone else had at least done it once or twice before, and I was taking notes on the whole process since I didn`t know what to do to be perfectly honest.

Usually we have three lecturers that spread themselves between 33 of us, and they also work with different year groups; so they work with the foundation year, 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year and the masters group.
But this then meant that we only had one lecturer and for only one day, and that was the Tuesday; on the Monday we just had to do photoshop work and basically keep ourselves busy for a day since the lecturer we where going to have wasn`t in. We had Jeremy on the Tuesday, and he gave us a not so quick induction on how to go through the whole process.

To begin with, you need a quite thick slab of wet clay. This just means it`s thick enough to push objects into to create quite a good cast. My object is still the bloody phones, I`m soooo sick of seeing them laying around on my desks,  plus there`s only so much you can do with the same three phones.

Then when the imprint has been made, you have to make a cottle around the imprints; you can do this just out of card. Then push it into the clay, this just means that when you pour in the plaster, it isn`t going to spill out everywhere and leak. If the cottle is wrapped around the clay slab, then you just need to grab more clay and push it up against the card so nothing leaks out of the casting.

After about 20 minutes - 30 minutes. You can pull the cottle out of the plaster and then try to pull the plaster off. In most cases, like with every single piece of mine; I had to then twist the clay that has somehow glued itself to the wooden boards we where using, just keep on twisting it both ways and it`ll eventually pull off.

Afterwards, if it`s worked properly, you can be left with something really cleanly casted or something quite faint. It depends on if you get the clay slab level or if you pushed your object in far enough. I ended up with a different range of faint looking casts and quite sharp ones, some on purpose and some by accident aswell. I just kind of messed around with everything.


But messing around everything turned out to be the right thing to do. I kept on making random cottles that weren`t even the right size or shape, and then this meant that I could file down the sides and make proper looking corners that turned the phone castings into proper looking 3D phones.

The only main problem that I had with using three phones is that the general outline and shape of them all is all the same, the screens themselves take up a lot of room so the prints from two of the phones weren`t that good; and I ended up taking them apart to get decent prints from them again. But that meant that I had to keep on using the blackberry phone, so at the moment a lot of my work just looks like these weird little buttons; which is becoming repetitive and not quite appealing to look at really.


I think I need to begin taking apart the other two phones completely so I can get some good work produced from the computer boards inside of the phones, The screws in the phones are so tiny though, I can`t actually find anything small enough to get them out with. Next week I`ll be working with printing, and creating basic screen prints

You can find all of my Casting images either on Deviantart (probably Wednesday) or you can see all of them on my Facebook page.

Nottingham Contemporarys latest exhbition!

I`ve had a wonderful little break away from University today, this has been one of my weekends off and I wanted it to be productive in some kind of way.
Last Friday a new exhibition was put up at the Nottingham Contemporary, two different female artists this time around and one of my friends from University, Jas, was one of the people who actually helped to set up the whole thing! Marguerite Humeau; she explored the ideas of FOXP2 (I`ll explain later). Otobong Nkanga; the encounter that took a part of me.


Otobong`s work was really interesting to walk around but didn`t strike me on an emotional level, and I`ll explain what I mean by that later. Her work was site specific and one was a commission piece, it was large scale and quite dramatic.

One room had a metal strip that curved throughout the room; it was then filled with white pebbles, and small boards of work placed on top. Some areas had odd but large rocks, and some vegetation. Then right at the back it had an embroidery piece on a large stand that was absolutely gorgeous. It was strange everything being completely white, but it still made the boards of work stand out since the colour scheme was dark brown.

In the next room, which was also site specific. It had a large wall piece that went all across one side of the large room, and then an embroidery piece at the end of it that kept with the dark brown colour scheme. Then there where cases filled with some smaller pieces of work, and pieces of work then hanging off small metal cylinders that come out of the side of the cases... I`m not too sure if I even explained that in a way that people can actually understand.
Her work is impressive, and I loved the scale of it all; but it didn`t quite affect me on a level that the other artists did.


Marguerite`s work is something that I hadn`t actually experienced before and it was very, very strange to experience. At first I even put a status on facebook just saying that I didn`t even know how to react to the piece.
To begin with, a whole room had been turned into two corridors. You just walk down and turn left and then walk down that one and there`s just pure light coming through a rectangle door. The corridor area is pitch black and only has some small blue-ish lights coming from the edges of the ceiling. Within the corridor are loud and weird sounding noises, to be more straight forward the corridor plays a choir of 108 billion voices. These 108 billion voices re-enact the time our ancestors gained the morphing gene FOXP2, FOXP2 was a gene which allowed our ancestors to be able to develop speech.
So, as you walk down this corridor you can hear these weird and strange noises coming from every direction; but it`s nothing like anyone talking, it`s even lower than baby level speech and there`s so many of them going off at the same time that it`s almost overwhelming.

When you walk through into the next room, through the seriously bright rectangular door. You find a large room with salmon pink walls, and boxes with large white sculptures on top.
In this room, she explores elephants, yes; she explored the possibility of elephants becoming sentient beings, instead of us humans. So basically, if humans hadn`t of evolved into knowledgeable creatures with feelings and emotions, would elephants? I`m not too sure if it was like Elephants would be the dominant creatures on earth if it wasn`t for humans, or If they just gained the FOXP2 gene instead of humans.
To then explore the idea of elephants gaining the gene, there is a serious of different elephants throughout the room that are all doing completely different things and are expressing different feelings.

Unfortunately, none of these images

will be in order due to how quickly
I was trying to update, if you want
to see all of the elephants, then google the
artist and have a look at some of her work

online.

The centre elephant, is one that is sculptured in a way that makes it look like it`s taking it`s final breathes, and the noises it creates are unsettling. This ones called Echo.

There`s a series of three at the opposite side of the room, and these three are built in such way that makes it seem like their larynges have dropped so they sing in an articulate language that sounds really strange... Not unsettling, but strange. These three are called Edwina, Amelia and Antonia.

This is Echo, the elephant who

is currently taking it`s final

breaths.

There`s another one which was almost creepy to walk past, I was leaning right over the box that the sculpture was sat upon so I could get a better look at it. Enid, is programmed to cry out of sadness.

There was only one elephant that wasn`t making any noise whatsoever and it was the only one that didn`t have tubes or speakers coming out of it. It`s called Jean and it watches the others in "a sense of wonder".

One of them made some seriously strange noises as you walked around it, and was almost in sync with the other one right next to it. Felicie is engineered in such a way that it`s drunk, and the noises it`s making are from it being drunk from ethanol which comes from the masala fruit.

The front of Echo.

One of them kept on making very heavy breathing sounds and then made an eruptive noise. Emmett is made to be aggressive and loud, and made me jump a few times.

A quite one, was by the one that made no noise and also behind the aggressive one. Bastein is a foetus being born, and it made quite whining kind of noises aswell as breathing sounds.

Throughout the room, you could constantly hear loud heart beating noises, that where literally non-stop. But because the corridor that was blacked out was right next to the pink room full of elephants, you could also hear the choir of 108 billion voices along with the sounds of the elephants.

I seriously cannot describe the way that the elephant pieces made me feel, it was seriously strange to walk around witness.
the piece was amazing, yes, I`m not saying that it was bad in any way, definitely not saying that because I was honestly blown away with what I saw because I only thought it was going to be a small range of sculptures.

It was strange to witness I guess, and upsetting in some way; when I first walked in I just though "wow, this is amazing". But after sitting in there for ten minutes I just thought about how they where feeling and why these noises where coming out of them, and the noises where just like something I`d never heard ever before. Sitting In there for ten minutes also made me feel like I wasn`t quite supposed to be in there, like I was intruding.

It was a mixture of weird emotions just from being in that room and seeing those sculptures made me feel slightly in-easy, and made my head slightly confused. It was definitely amazing, eye-opening and made you think about the piece. It was brilliantly effective and I bloody loved it.

if your around Nottingham or just passing through, it`s by the Broadmarsh shopping centre and is free entry. Also, look up the artists and have a good look at both of them, it`s actually Marguerite`s first major solo exhibition so it`ll also be good too look at her previous work before this exhibition.

I also apologize for not putting up all of the images, and for not putting up the ones that I do have in the right order. you`ll be able to find them all on the Facebook page later on in the day!

Thanks for reading everyone! I`ll be updating again very, very soon!
