Artist Inspo:
This work by Tracey Emin titled My Bed, is a very raw work that I feel creates similar feelings to what I hope to evoke with my site specific. Not only am I drawn to the concept behind this work, but also the use of simple every day materials to recreate such a vulnerable space.
I discovered the second image first and was immediately drawn to it. After trying to figure out the artists I found that it must be the recreation of a performance piece done by Carolee Schneemann (as seen in the first image). I first had this artist for an idea I had revolving around the materialistic project.
Project Ideas:
My original idea was to transform the inside of my bedroom into the inside of my head. I want to create a work that represents my overwhelming thoughts and show it in a more physical sense. Before knowing the site specific project was going to be more of a proposal I had planned for this work to be in my bedroom. I am not sure if that would still fall within the project guidelines so instead I thought maybe this was a work where I 'rebuilt' my bedroom elsewhere, similar to the work My Bed.
I want this work to be simple in materials, using only paper and string. The paper will be covering the walls and objects within the bedroom with strings strung through out them in between walls and objects. This would make it difficult to move 100% freely within the space but it would be able to be seen from the doorway, or from the surroundings of the bedroom objects if this were to placed in a different building. The notes would be covered in writing simply of my thoughts and what I call my 'anxiety spirals'.
So if I were to consider this idea in another room besides my own bedroom, I would consider having a bed, nightstand, dresser, possibly a false wall or two, in order to recreate the feeling of being inside a bedroom.
