For the site specific piece I am interested in getting back into ceramics and doing some slipcasting as well as integrating processes that maybe seen more as “craft” in an artistic way. For the site specific I plan to take a mold of a mannequin head that I then plan to cast in slip and clear glaze and then finish a small section of the face with a mirror surface. This head will be suspended in a handmade tubular fishing net out of a cotton cord. I plan to use this cord so that I can dye it later and add a little more to the finished piece. The concept of this piece is that anyone could hang this in an environment that has greatly influenced them and the surroundings will be reflected in the mirrored face. I think that this piece would be more migratory in that it could be placed in several places and still have the important connection to its surroundings. This is more of a question, but I was also thinking that I could project my home video onto the piece once it is hung in its environment and it would have another quality to it. I’m just not sure if this would be too much and take away from the piece rather than add to it.
