I must admit when we finished for our Christmas break I had a massive action plan which in no way was going to be ignored. I wouldn't say I ignored it so much as over thought it, and from then on I started, once again to question the what's the why's and the how's in far too much detail without really achieving that much.
And so my new years resolution (cheesy as this may sound) is to Think, Create, Evaluate, because I feel that the only way to truly understand how something will work out is to attempt it and see how it works in reality. I hope this is a good strategy because nothing ever seems to work exactly the way you imagine it.
Last term I had been trying to relate the contour lines of topological maps with the volume of facial features. I also experimented with the idea of creating volume by bending the canvas boards I had worked onto after becoming aware of Serra's sculptures. The possibility of a multi canvas image was also considered, and over the holidays I created a few photographic maquettes in order to try and get a feel for how a composition could be reached and its effect. The two options vary immensely, the atmosphere and meaning would be totally different.
