In my tutorial with Kyung Hwa, she recommended that I think about what shapes I am draping around. This project reminded me of the black mesh sack experiment that I did for Artifact. I think it might be nice to do some more geometric sketches like this, I really have found sketching to be a useful part of my process, and I know that I need to embed it in various parts of the investigating and research process.
I think the way these projects are photographed is very nice as well. The photograph of the light shining through the fabric and showing the silhouette of the tree is very strong, and it makes me think about how I could document my own work. The final image is strong as well, it looks almost like a surrealist piece, which I’m into.
Overall, with these projects the scale is astounding… scale is something that keeps coming up in my research but it is SO HARD to execute large scale pieces as an individual. I’m not sure how to reconcile this in my own work, but it is something I will continue to think about in the future.
