Blog Week 1
What changed this week
This week I decided to work with a water trough for my found object for the small-scale installation project.
The scale of this installation object is larger than I initially was thinking about working with, but I think my plan to utilize some simplified 2D painted or printed figures, the larger scale will not be too much of an issue.
This installation will use the interior space of the object to convey most of the concept for the piece. The object is being used in a similar context as it is intended so the special considerations are less involved with transforming it into something else, than it is about utilizing its objective understanding to create a scene through special designed imagery.
The concept relies on the audience to understand what the found object is used for but offers some humor with the perspective of the horse. When the audience views the piece, they will also be included in the image alongsidethe perspective figures.
A specific decision
I have been thinking about trying to make a piece like this for a while now so it made sense to experiment with this concept with audience feedback and critique.
A spatial observation
The interior space is functioning from the perspective of the piece. The viewer investigates the reflective basin to see the horse and their own reflection within the piece.
Where the viewer’s eye/body goes
The separation of the reflection and the water level might be challenging to read like I am envisioning in my head, so in this apsect of the piece feels unresolved or awkward.
Connection to the referenced artist
One concrete way their thinking is informing the work
This piece puts the view within the piece and places them in the image of a horse drinking out of a trough of water.
Or one way the student is intentionally diverging
I am only trying to create one image in this installation rather than an accumulation of a series of images.
