Drawings for proposed work.

Cloud Room, 2009

Icebergs, installation veiw, 2009

Recently I have started to use digital mediums to visualise and plan future installations. I have made a link between these drawn artificial scenarios and the sculptural interventions to the sites I have been working in. Although the situations in which we are presented with are clearly staged, something seduces us into accepting what is happening and this is something Id like to further explore. In this light I have started to veiw these drawing as a good communication of this idea and something i could push as a finished work. I have also found a link between my use of manufactured materials and the staged, temporary scenarios i am creating. When these materials are first formed they are so clean cut and fresh they almost dont seem part of the world, they dont hold that evidence of the human touch. I thinking about the work of Peter Demand, his architectural scenes constructed beautifully from painted cardboard and displayed in photographs, at first glance these look like plausable scenes, but at a second glance everything is a little to perfect. The scenes hold no evidence of being lived in, photographs have no faces, products have no brand names, the world is not present and they become cold and eerie.
