15.12.20 - Dissecting Wires and Collecting Parts for Final Piece

Today I found some different cables to cut up for my plaster crabs and I really enjoyed discovering what different colours the wires were when I opened them up for the first time, it reminds me again of cracking open a rock and finding fossils or geodes. 

This black cable had a flower-like cross section, similarly to the brown cable I cut up previously, however this one was much tougher which is why I used less of it. 

 

I was really happy to find that this next one had a whole rainbow of coloured wires inside.

This blue cable had intertwined wires that look a bit like DNA, but with one solid colour and one white with stripes - they also reminded me of rock candy from the seaside.

These cables had been painted white in a previous students project.

I separated different materials into cups to try and keep organised, this one is full of screws that I have removed while taking things apart.

Here are lots of miscellaneous pieces that have come out of the various things I have deconstructed - I like how the orange pieces pop out against the other objects in the white cup.

Another Batch of Cartons

Image
  After several of my porcelain cartons came out broken, I decided to try earthenware instead, which should be stronger. Unfortunately it means there is a smaller range of glazes to choose from. The two more damaged looking cartons in this image are porcelain while the other three are earthenware, so you can see the difference it made to switch to the thicker clay as they came out of the mold much cleaner and didn't break from handling. Here are the results of the three earthenware pieces - I think they look really good. I went with turquoise, matt black and antique green. I decided to use these colours after my previous lot where I thought the dove glaze was most effective, the cold tone reminded me of stone and the natural world. The turquoise one (left) has a beautiful gradient that reminds me of a clear shallow sea, an idealistic vision of what the world could look like without pollution and litter. It has a fluidity as the intense blue bleeds into the lighter tones.  The ...

Drawing Patterns

Image
Now that I have a large collection of ceramic test pieces I wanted to go back to 2D work for a moment so I drew some patterns inspired by them with Copic markers. I made geometric patterns based on the nerikomi pieces where I stacked layers of clay together and cut through, as well as organic patterns like the spare coloured clay that I rolled out into swirly flat pieces. My favourite is the red lines against the yellow background because it looks fluid and groovy; I've also been wondering about translating these patterns onto ceramics, for instance using transfers on porcelain or using underglazes. I could also scratch patterns into a glaze revealing the colours underneath.  Although the geometric patterns were originally based on natural forms, I think the organic patterns are more successful in terms of alluding to nature and my theme of the ocean.

Mike Kelley Style Photoshoot

Image
  Mike Kelley's 'Ahh... Youth' piece inspired me to make my own version using old teddies from home, including some from my parent's childhood and some from my own - plus a recently acquired 90's troll doll from a car boot sale. I set up the studio lighting in a way that would reduce shadows behind the objects and used a white background like Kelley's image, which gives a professional atmosphere that  elevates them from being worn-out old creatures to something special and celebrity-like. I used a tripod so that they are all to scale with each other, and I like the empty space around them, it's like they have room to breathe and think. I also had to adjust the ISO, white balance and shutter speed on the camera to suit the light and conditions of the space, then I used manual focus to get the sharpness that allows you to see all the details and textures. After uploading the photos to the computer, I cropped them on photoshop and classified them into two separ...
