Creating Structures

Towards the end of the exhibit in the city unit I was really enjoying the work I was making and I knew I wanted to carry it on and develop it. I started to test out some ideas of how I could turn my photos into structures and make my flat images 3D. I tried cutting my photos out into sections and having each part come out at different depths. It was a very basic few attempts but it has given me some ideas of how to move forwards.



My first few attempts were very basic and I know this is an area I want to and need to keep on exploring. I need to brainstorm other ways in which I can create models of my work.

Digital Modelling

 Originally for this project I wanted to explore digital modelling, however I had a few complications with this as my laptop could not run the software, then I was waiting for my new laptop to be delivered. There was delays with this oder and it meant that by the time I finally got the laptop there wasn't long of this project left. I have downloaded the fusion software and started to have a look. However because I do not have much time until hand in I am going to focus on other aspects of the project and save this idea for FMP. If I do get time I will start looking at video tutorials for how to use fusion but I would rather focus on the other ideas I have been working on.

Nobuhiro Nakanishi

 Nakanishis 'Layered Drawings' are some of my favourite pieces of work. To create these amazing pieces of work he will photograph and event such as a sunset over time - he will capture the process of the event. After this the photos are places onto transparent acrylic panels and hung up in chronological order. This creates an incredible experience. It looks like you are living and walking within the event. I think the size of the panels really helps to involve the audience and the way the audience can walk around and live through the event again and again, even if they weren't there originally. I think work that the viewer can live in is really interesting, you very much get lost on the work because you are surrounded by it. Being submerged into a past event. Another thing I like about Nakanishis work is the colours and the light. Because the photos are on clear acrylic the light can shine through the pieces and the colours get reflected and transferred onto the room around...
