Process and critique write up
MATERIALS
- Sensitive use of materials: does the form of the overall piece respond to or resonate with the objects chosen as modules? Yes it does the meaning would not be the same without the gloves.
- Could the piece be made from another object just as well, or is there precise/necessary correspondence between the objects and the structure? I don't think any other object could have helped cony the message I was trying to get across any better than these gloves.
- Explain any material difficulties in usage? When i was first tying up the gloves after filling them with air i did 25 and my fingers were swollen i couldn't do any more so i had to i find another way to tie my gloves.
- Meaningful discoveries? I found out gloves can make very unique fabrics.
PROCESS/AMBITIOUSNESS
- Does the piece rise above the ordinary in terms of scale, materials or effort? I think it did rise above ordinary terms in the sense that i made pretty a small room for people to fit in and view my piece not only from the outside but also from the inside. When you made the transition you can't look at the outside the same way.
- How did the piece change from initial mental imaginings to final piece? My idea had to change after the wind decided that my first small room with igloo like structure didn't work for it, there fore i had to come up with an whole new idea to express my meaning.
- Was the initial idea or final piece more ambitious? How so? It was far more ambitious in the end the scale was made bigger, the whole project was taken somewhere else than what i had intentionally wanted to do.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Is the way the piece put together helping the overall effect or distracting from it (How so?) I think the way i pieced together my project only helped it. The way the gloves gridlocked blend well with the fence around it.
FORM
- What are the dominant formal elements (point, line, shape, color, texture, value, space) visible in the work? Are these elements important to the piece? In what ways? The color was very bland i didn't want something that was going to stand out cause of color i really focused more on the meaning.
- What are the dominating principles (scale, hierarchy, repetition, rhythm, unity, contrast, balance, space, gravity, continuance, similarity/difference) visible or implied in the work? Explain how each dominating principle helps strengthen the impression of the work or detracts. I had repetiotn and rhythm, unity, similarity. The repeating patterns on the outside kept your eyes going and when you got to the inside there was more but it was completely different.
CONCEPT
- Does piece relate to the source objects history, function or purpose? The piece i would have to say relates to it's purpose.
- If so, how? The purpose of the gloves is to put them on and touch stuff. When you step inside my piece you get touch. You can't avoid it, just like going to the doctors office they touch you and you don't have a choice. For me i don't like being touch unless I can call you friend then it might be acceptable.
- How does the presentation of the piece alter the viewers understanding of the source object? I don't think many people looked at gloves as an object with much meaning they are just gloves to them. To me it mean i'm gunna have to touch something or something is probably about to touch me.
PRESENTATION
- Why here? Next to a out door storage area gave it a more eerie perspective.
- What is the relationship of the work to the space? It starts to blend in with the fence and become part of the environment.
- How do the surrounding elements impact the viewing and impression of the piece? It makes you not think of it as a friendly place.
- Does the piece respond or ignore what is around it? How so? It interacts with the environment becoming part of the fence in away.
