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.
