In this project I will be using sculpture
and will be thinking about and exploring ways of indicating the figure, not
necessarily in a solid way, by means of experimentation with different
materials. This is a response to my
thoughts concerning the nature of reality, or my understanding of reality,
which include thoughts on the transient and less physical and material aspect
and also thoughts on the figure and the space it occupies.
I intend to experiment with body casts and
use these moulds and casts as a means to create human form using other less
solid materials that can be applied and later removed. I will be looking at different materials that
could be in some way be laminated over the form or stiffened. This will be very much a trial and error
method of working but despite an unpredictable outcome will be very useful in
gaining experience and knowledge for future use. The materials and methods used will very much
be determined by practical issues but I will most likely be using alginate and
plaster to created moulds and my experimentation with materials to create form
will be a range of fabrics which could be stiffened by some means, perhaps PVA
or resin for example.
