a long time awating!!!!

So its taken alot of thinking and rethinking but i have finally and happily came to an idea that i am excited about...acutally im more then excited! ecstatic (i dont think i spelt that right!)

anyway! i was thinking about the journey that i have been through since i have moved up to limerick!

the emotions that i have felt and the things that i have taken notice of! 

i feel that i have been more aware of my surroundings since i have moved to limerick! because i am constantly looking and absorbing new information!

so with all that in mind i want to create a pathway!...well pathway isnt really the right word..its more of a journey! through sight, sound,touch and smell! 

i want to have 12 boxes for the 12 weeks that i have spent...or the 6 more weeks that i have yet to spend here! each box will have a differnt sense to it! maybe a smell or sight! etc! 

i want to try and explain the pathway that i have taken up here! and i want to show people what i have experienced and the emotions that came to me! 

 

the boxes will be white! but the inside of them will be a different world..my world i suppose... 

letting people experience what i have! letting them in! showing them what i have gone through.

the night before the day of the presentation!

 All week i have been going around collecting cardboard boxes and pager shavings from different shops around limerick. i also took alot of pictures this week of different surfaces,shapes,forms,colours and movements that i have seen. they are all still in the area of surfaces.
so after annoying all the shopkeepers of limerick i began to work with my new materials. i wanted to use the pictures that i took and make them into the surface that they were orginally but with a little twist. i took there form but gave them all a different surface. eg something that was flat i made rise and flatened the other surface that was around eg a manhole cover...you know the little bolts they have? well i cut out little carboard models of them and then with paint i made the flat surface behind the bolts rise up to meet it! the paint it layered on very thick and looks bumpy this is the effect i was going for...instead of it being cool and steel like i took it to a different place with the paint...i hope!
till next time!

WELL!!

HELLO! sooo i suppose this week i have been looking at surfaces! i find them insanly interesting, i want to explore surfaces by making them(bigger, smaller,wider...etc) and moulding them into something different! so you look at them in a new way! i feel that becuase i am in a new city i want to take a closer look at the things we see everyday...like the man hole cover i see everyday walking to college!
this week im going to make it my mission to make different series of surfaces, but i want people to look at it in a new way. i want to make it something totally new...and exciting to look at

hello blog world!
