Space!

Our project is based on our reaction to the term Space and its relationship to the things around us! For some reason I was drawn to the idea of an item in a three-dimensional space becoming two-dimensional. I have a feeling this may have generated from me looking at geometry in the first semester; I spend ages researching polygons and polyhedrons. What are these you ask? I find all of this fascinating in regards to art and composition. I feel print could possibly be a perfect outlet to express my attraction and need for understanding of this.

I also am looking at the idea of imaginary space. This probably generates from me reading a book on consciousness which is baffling yet invigorating stuff. The realisation that I use my hands as tools to create such a space under visual terms has produced a few images. I printed blue latex gloves to see the effect it produces. I was pleasantly surprised at the results. I think they are very simple yet very poetic in a sense. I find the fact that there are two hands in some of the prints strangely poignant. I love when I have this sort of reaction to the work I produce. I will upload some images soon of them.

These are the gloves I used! Completely covered in ink at the moment!
