Week 10 Monday Workshops | Concept Development and Exploration

Today I attended this workshop given by tutor Sharon Legear. We discussed in detail the use of language when we are describing our work to our peers. The importance of having a clear concept and then being able to relay it through the avenues that we choose to express our project work was vital to developing my own understanding between literally and laterally in the end result.

This workshop was constructive and conducive to helping me clarify my concept and how I can push forward for the remaining two weeks.

The images below are from my second small Mayfly wing, this one is more delicate and without a frame, so the resulting images are different to the first batch I did. I like this method of working exploring color, layering, light, textures, digital technology to further my concept of the Mayfly lifecycles.

As a continuation of our 'Temporary' project after I did Yvonne Sweeneys Draw/redraw workshop I was able to develop my plans to move forward. Yvonne introduced me to other tools she uses in animation and interesting artists to research. As a result I created these images in studio 4 and studio 8 using photography, light and colour.

These images are unedited/unphoto shopped, the next stage will be to play around under a big re-learning to use photoshop again to explore other results.

As part of my exploration process of the Mayfly through plastics as an alternative and workable material for other uses other than its first conceptional use. I experimented in Studio 1 /sewing materials room by using the iron to create these 3d pieces out of used plastic bags/netting and hessian.

To capture these images of them I continued to experiment with light boxes and in preparation for our end of semester showcase for first year I hung them from the ceiling to gauge how they might be used as part of an installation. The end result wasn't fantastic but I did learn to use my space from a different angle than I usually would.
