Statement of Intent

Well at long last after introductory sessions on the fine art course we are now able to start our own projects.  As required this is my 300 word (give or take a couple) project brief or statement of intent:



Project 1

My overriding motivation and theme is to look and contemplate perception,  sense of reality, people and life.  My work will be a response to my observed reality, my view from my sphere, my observations and interpretations by looking at society and everyday life in my world.  The reality that I accept as set is in fact just filtered through my mind and its interpretations and experience and is also subject to my associations.  I want to also try to look at the alternatives and comparisons, I will try to look at people and life in different lights and perspectives, which along with other various elements may include humour.  No one true sense of reality exists and I want to stop, question and explore other ways of seeing my observed world, taking different slants and angles on a familiar environment.

I intend to paint, sculpt and probably use print in response to my theme.  For painting and print I will take photos to use for reference and sketches along with imagination to create compositions and narratives.  Most likely I will be using acrylic paint, and I will also use the opportunity to further my understanding of colour and light.

 In print, being a new subject to me, I will no doubt be using etching whilst incorporating other techniques as well but this is open to experimentation.  All of my work will incorporate the human figure, the human condition and how we fit, based on my understanding of my world.

In sculpture I will still be thinking about the above but more specifically exploring ways of indicating the figure,  not necessarily in a solid way, this will include thinking about the transient aspect and how we fit into space.
