This is the next day and as you can see not a lot has happened with the business of uploading videos. I have managed to get my animations on to Skydrive and they aer playing but Paul Gardiner has told me anyone wanting to look at the stuff would need a password, so I think I will bite the bullet and start bringing my laptop in to school. It would certainly make things a lot easier when making a presentation to my tutors.
regarding the comment above about the video, I didn't realise that this actually runs on the log, so I'm not quite as digitally dense as I thought I was!
This is a two-day post but as I am working away I will continue and when I get home I will add a number of pictures to show where I am now. With regard to that I am going to post the statement I have made out for my tutors explaining my present position. :
To Sense My Space
Where am I now?
October 15
The main thrust of my research and practice at present is
into the concept of edge.
This is an idea which is open to interpretation in many
different direction, but for now I am concentrating on a tight personal and
concrete view, derived from an initial rather more monumental perception.
There are two distinct strands to my thinking and to my work
The first comes from an interest in the work of land artists
such as the Boyle Family, Richard Long and to a lesser extent Andy Goldsworthy,
and has taken the form of a plaster cast of part of my garden. This cast is
here at present. I do not intend to pursue this for the moment because, in
truth, the cast was not quite as inspiring as I had hoped but there are
possibilities.
The other presently much more interesting project is based
on a series of photographs taken at various locations, but sprouting from
Limerick Junction, a site which I believe has a great deal more potential for
development.
These images are views of familiar objects seen from an
unfamiliar perspective, and for now I would prefer not to name them, as I feel
that would reduce them once more to the banal.
The pictures may be used in various ways, but each can stand
alone. At this time I have made a short animation feature, based on the work on
Len Lye.
One of his 1930s pieces – ‘A Colour Box’ – was little short
of revolutionary for its time and for the use for which it was commissioned –
an ad for the Royal Mail parcel post.
This animation is a new departure for me, but I have found
it fascinating and would like to pursue it perhaps even working with pictures
of the cast.
