Project 2: Summary of intent


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.
