To begin the new brief we began by working in teams of two mind mapping words we had taken from project brief. We selected words such as ‘Care’ ‘Diversity & Respect’ ‘Health’ and Environment. We then began to make individual mind maps for each word.
For example with diversity we looked at all the ways we thought people were ‘different’ through religion and emotions.
Before researching into design ideas I wanted to look into my target audience and see what treatments were used to treat people with mental illness.
One of these treatments was light therapy. So I began looking into artists that used light as a form of art and began trying to create my own ideas.
My first idea was aimed towards the subject of race. I thought this was a strong idea to use as structure at Tapton Grove. I wanted to use light as one of my main materials for this idea. Either drawing with light or projecting light through a group of people I would stencil out. I would begin experimenting with these ideas by using card and the light box. As well as continuing experimenting with light through light photography. I started to look at projecting light through paper after researching an artist called Ingrid Siliakus who is a ‘paper architect’ I also looked at artists who project images onto building. This artist was called Ross Ashton.
I also looked at an artist who uses laser cutting to create his images, which would be an ideal way to produce my experiments as it would be letting through a large amount of light, which is something I wanted to do. Going back to projecting light through paper I also want to experiment by projecting words through stencils. I feel this may be more visually pleasing as it is giving the viewer of the sculpture more to look at rather than just having a clear light shining through.
