The Beginning to an End

So I have now started the beginning to the end of the 3rd and final year of a BA student and once again i find myself wanting to start a fresh project with new and exciting prospects. So where to start.....

Anish Kapoor is a good old place as any. I find his work amazes me with these gigantic sculptures which just engulf the viewer. In his piece 'yellow' 1999 (image 1) Kapoor simulates the blurring the boundaries between space and form with it monumentally scale of a receding hole with in its centre. The colour just fills the viewers eye which in turn can cause a sense of disorienting and uncertainly of there surrounding space and engulfs the viewer on many different sensory levels.

This project is entitled Developing fine art practise and consists of a body of work and research into applying to an arts residence in developing a proposal.During this project I plan to continue in my research in to the cosmos and some of the physics behind it. I wish to investigate further into the birth and death of stars and how the elements are made.


Practically I plan to experiment on found materials and find ways to manipulate them so they visually excite me in a pattern or formly shape, and reflect my research. Finally I would like to create an installation which is atmospheric and disorienting as to cause the viewer I feeling of uneasiness, this in turn should cause the viewers senses to by heightened and become more intuitive but in contrast to relate to the audience I want my work is to be familiarising.
