Viewing single post of blog Ideas Overload

During the week period from the 19th to the 23rd of October I completed a art residence within the white cubed space in the art department of Suffolk University.

The aim is to create an artwork within the time frame that demonstrates the artist’s creative processes in the form of documentation.  Below are some of the images from my residence.

My first consideration was what materials to use.  To minimalize being overwhelmed by to much choice I settled on plastic coated cable that I wrapped strips of recycled fabrics around, secured in place by threads.

Also included the wrapping were ripped strips of paper from pages of the book Danny the Champion of the World by Rolad Dahl.  My reasoning for this was that one of the ideas I was going to experiment with is the creating of a conceptional child’s den: an evocation of my own childhood memories of den building.  By incorporating the book within the wrapping was an act of bringing past memory into the present moment.  The book itself also is significant as it was my own book from my childhood.  It even came with a bookworm hole.
