To Sense My Space

In the first week we were given out brief 'To sense my space'.At first i was VERY confused, i had no idea what they wanted us to do. In the brief it talks about
-Space
-Shape
-Depth
-occupation
-control
- Positive and negative
-Movement
-Noise
- and strength

All of this was very overwhelming because whatever idea we had it had to last til Christmas. The last thing i wanted was to have an idea that I could only take so far and then have nowhere to go.
So in  all this confusion I started researching artists that I knew like Rebecca Horn, Sophie Calle, Louise Bougious and then I remebered Racheal Whiteread, who incorporates space into her work so much! I remebered house:




She put it in suburban london and had cast an ENTIRE house out of cement, leaving the positive shape (air) full of cement. I love this piece.

Racheal Whiteread cast of table and chair, cast of neg shape in resin.





Racheal Whiteread , Torso,
Cast of  a hot water bottle in plaster


Racheal Whiteread Cast of book shelves in plaster.



She put it in suburban london and had cast an ENTIRE house out of cement, leaving the positive shape (air) full of cement. I love this piece.

I researched racheal whiteread alot and I knew i wanted to deal with positive and negative shape in my OWN way.
So I started Brainstorming...alot.

I worked alot in my contexual notebook because I knew research was something I could do, and do alot of.
I took out loads of books from the library on Racheal Whiteread,  David Lilburn , Kathy Prentergast.

I really liked the idea of doing something with Maps like Kathy Prentergast and David Lilburn.
