fish in soap

• a charming craft that i think would scale up well to be an interesting 3d art project
• the image of the lone fish is very isolating, something that could be interesting to portray
• just has a lot of visual interest with the bright color of the fish against the clear soap and plastic bag surrounding it

Louise Bourgeois’s Spider

• spiders snare and entrap creatures in their webs, and their legs are somewhat cagelike
• the spindly, precarious form is very interesting to me. they are dangerous, but fragile
• i wonder about the potential of a spider with its own web entangling its legs, trapped by its own nature

coffins

• a bit morbid, but hear me out.
• coffins are beautiful and simple forms with a lot of potential symbolism
• the open in a very interesting way that could be used for visual interest
• the potential for performance is high. things can be on, around, or inside a coffin. things can be put in or escape from a coffin.

-the core structure is mainly complete

-im going to fill any large gaps then begin paper mache

did you know mushrooms are more like animals than plants? wild.

MycoLyco

-these mushrooms play synths!

-the lights of the synth made me consider incorporating lights into my mushroom piece

-so many different, interesting shapes, but my favorite is the cordyceps

Jaume Plensa

-frequently utilizes transparency to create a connection to surroundings

-lack of visibility facial expressions can lead to an interesting sense of anonymity

-enclosed spaces can create a landscape that is quite interesting

Rebecca Horn

-artwork that draw a lot of attention in public

-i like the use of supports to help hold the artwork in place

-the hypervisibility of this work appeals to me a lot

Object Head Movement/subculture

-born out of a desire to have simultaneous self-expression while maintaining anonymity

-a subculture dedicated entirely to transforming the head

-opportunities to play with differing levels of transparency and face visibility

-ok these sketches suck but my wrists hurt so drawing hurts. meh

-the goal would be to possibly utilize mesh or vinyl to mimic a screen

-typical object head protocol is to not show the face. but for this one, I could utilize transparency to create a transformation rather than a replacement

-could play with the idea of wires and technology integrated with a human body (SFX to have power cord into neck?)
