Plans

What do I actually want to create?

An installation that is constructed to be an enclosure that will be something the audience can move through and explore. Fragments of different things – materials and imagery. Creating a narrative within the space, almost like a little world of stories/lives that can be interpreted by the viewers. ATMOSPHERE. Create a sense of exploration/wonder but with a sinister concept. Engaging and compelling. Trapping the audience in.

How will I create what I want?

I will decide on a particular narrative to follow – a specific theme yet not too binding, fluid but create a certain atmosphere.  Choose specific imagery to use and layer – ones that follow my chosen theme. I will find materials that relate to the particular themes, give the impression of what atmosphere I want to formulate. Include the process of my installations in the work by constructing pieces that use the OHPS/behind-the-scenes materials as part of the work.

Specifically, what will I need to do?

Look through my written work and imagery to decide on a particular theme/area of my work to portray.

Design different ideas on how I can create the atmosphere I want.

Construct different installation structures to decide on how I want the enclosure to look.

Explore different ways I can include the structure/OHPs to create the atmosphere.

Right now…where shall I begin?

Write down every idea I have.

Sketch/draw/design every installation design I have.

Look through imagery – decipher common themes and pairing pieces.

Look back on previous works – which pieces worked the most effectively?

Construction – consider how I will move the pieces around and “trap” and “open up” the work to the audience.

Once I have a clear(ish) idea in my mind  - look at other artists’ work and gather ideas from their practice.
