Working with photography and editing
I have been working on photography today - exploring how I can use imagery to express mind imagery/memory.
Exploring how I can translate other's memories into external pieces using projection, colour and scale.
Also considering the sensory experience for the audience, exploring how colour effects what we see psychologically - expresses certain emotions, reactions etc. Inparticular, coloured light.
Artist I have looked at, such as Pipilotti Rist, use coloured light to create atmospheres but also the imagery/film the artist creates reaches the audience on a sensory level because of the up-close angles that can repulse and fascinate. I have been working on how I can create imagery that gives the impression of sensory effects such as something that looks disgusting, or as if you can touch it because of the vividity of what is being portrayed.
Anyway, here are some images I have been working on. I collected them based on information I was given by asking people (of a certain age - only one controll group at the moment!!) about the most sensory/important memory that came to mind in an instant. I want to work with sound and record the "interviews" I have with the participants, exploring different age groups and their recall of memory/sensory perceptions etc. This theme is along side the ideal of the human mind and how the human body and mind are separate things but combined physically.

Everyone sees colour in their mind differently, I am fasinated by the ideal.

exploration of memory/recall
In reference to my interest in the human condition I am now focusing on a specific area - memory and how memories are recalled in a sensory way.
Artists that explore memory -

Artists in 'Walking in my Mind' book.
Installation artists that explore the mind and how things are expressed and translated from the internal to external. I am interested in how external sources, the ones I collect, can be interpreted by me to create a "portrait" or a "theatre of memories" by creating a sensory installation with light /projection, photography and sound - possibly with the use of smell in my final exhibition. Something that can be experienced and that can be related to by the audience.

Projecting acetate photographs!!!!
22/10 Tuesday
I have hired an OHP to project some photographs that I took - I have also been working on projecting words (pieces of my written art).
I want to project pieces onto walls/ceiling to explore the idea of how I can create an installation space - draw the audience in, "trap" them within my work.
I am also looking at projecting onto my canvas paintings - basically working with loads of different mediums to create fragmented works, to explore how I can further push my artwork to communicate and stimulate the audience and for my own benefit - to play around with art.
I looked at this artist in my level 5 project - I am interested in her use of projection of images.

Mirrors
Exploring using mirrors - looking at fragments, considering using reflection within an installation.
Red plastic sheet over mirror piece - reminds me of Catherine Yass's work.
