Research and idea gathering
Consider the idea of an
‘analogue’ – what might this mean for art-making?
Some definitions:
‘to stand in for’ - ‘be
parallel to’ - ‘relating to’ - ‘an echo’ - ‘bearing similarity’ - ‘something analogous to something else: a representation,
picture, model, image, illustration, simulation, likeness, simulacrum…’
You are asked to generate a
body of work which behaves as a set of analogues
to your chosen subject.
I found a bird skull during my holidays and I've been studying it and drawing it. I guess you could say its my subject, its more of a point if interest, Its very delicate and I'm not even sure what bird it comes from, its a bit of a mystery. I really love the delicacy of bone, it has and ivory/pear color but then is so course in texture it almost feels wrong.
I usually enjoy color in my work but I think thats what interests me so much about skulls, the color is barely there. It makes finding the creams and greens and greys more complex. I like the change in texture and the way the earth has made parts of it smooth and worn down. I found mine by the sea so i guess the water has smoothed parts of it.
I have also been collecting wasps, there are so many dying EVERYWHERE, so I thought, why not!
