CONCEPTUAL-PRT 6

I really liked the look of my pervious conceptual pieces – the cut out of the radios in the centre of the blank page – so, I decided to repeat the composition, but this time I looked up radio stations in Rhodes, Greece where I grew up. I then stuck the radio stations onto the pages, and it had an effective outcome. I really like the shapes created by the cut outs. I also did some experimentation with collage and the negative effects on the printer. I liked the aesthetic of the the collage pieces, but that the radio station pieces, are stronger, as they hold more of the idea, rathe than the aesthetic.

CONCEPTUAL-PRT5

With Miereles’s Sculpture piece in mind, I would like to do a piece based on radio and what they can represent. Different types on radios or speakers and have a different effect depending at the person. For example, if you were to present a very old radio of the 1950s, it can hold a memory, different from a radio of the present. Also, radio may be able to represent culture on current times. I would like to delve into this idea.

I cut out and stuck on to paper four different types on radios in no particular order. I like the contrast on each radio, however in the future I would like think more into the types on radio and the representation on each radio and why.

CONCEPTUAL-PRT4

Cildo Meireles is a Brazilian conceptual artist. He is known for his installations, many of which express resistance to political oppression of Brazil. His works are often dense and large, to encourage a phenome logical experience through the viewers interaction.

This has to be my favourite piece of art currently. I feel the sound aspect of the sculpture really makes the piece more immersive. Each radio was turned to a different part of the world, creating a murmured and jumbled sound. The tower is to represent The Tower of Babel, where people built a tower in hope to reach heaven, however God did not agree with this decision and made everyone speak different language, so the building of the tower could no longer carry on.

ECHOIC MEMORY CON-PRT3

When thinking of memory and what else of be seen as memory. I feel sound can be a large role in memory and how it can represent or remind you of a particular memory. I started to look into Echoic Memory which I feel is really interesting, on a mental side.

CONCEPTUAL – PRT2

I found mark making of the coins to be really effective, so I decided to try the some technique again, but with a rougher base. With acrylic paint, I quickly layering several layers thickly, with the memory of a daisy I have when I was a child. Once dried, I repeated the imprint technique by using paper and pencil. I really liked the outcome of this piece however, I feel I am focusing too much on the media and technique side, rather then the idea and developing side.

CONCEPTUAL – PRT 1.

With main theme of memory, I decided to collect three coins and to get the imprints of them by using some paper and a pencil. I feel this represents a memory as you’re taking a part of an object or scenario and keeping it. I would like to experiment with this idea more.
