After visiting the Victoria and Albert Museum, I came into contact with alot of objects that had been crafted from the domestic environment. A broken cup would create an interesting juxtaposition. I have become interested in the transformation of the meaning behind the objects when the object, once it becomes broken it becomes lost between preservation and waste, reality and the unconcious. How do we  interact with these objects, why are some ojects dismissed for their imperfection and others admired. We have become dictated by cosumerism, constantly tossing objects of no meaning or craft aside with from society.
  • Tea cup

fragile, functional and recgonisable, i felt that this would register as a fragile object that we come into contact on a daily basis.

 Working to a time schedule for our March shows means I will need to be clear with my idea. Working with clay and porcelian means i will need to have a suitable amount of time to sculpt, fire, glaze and decorate my object. Archipelgo Works is a gallery consisting of two rooms, homely in appearance I feel an object such as a tea cup/tea pot would sit nicely in the space and is a reasonable ask within the space of time.

Studies of air movements 1901: Etienne Jules Marey





The gorgeous studies of smoke in movement, how its transforms, adapts and consumes its space. All of these movements were described in space and time by Mareys graphical method . In the image above Marey studies the movement of air caused by a smoke machine, the photographer also looked at the displacement of objects. It was conducted in an aerodynamic wind tunnel, recording the behaviour of smoke in reaction to its obstacle.. These images combine and a poetical notion, dream like and free. Seemingly abstract, disguised from the original context, these images are transiently present giving an illusion of temporality. The movement of the air reflects an obstruction but also a creation of something new...this process is captured in the transformation.
