In the first semester I think I developed some really interesting ideas and ways of working that I want to continue but I want to start to think of how these will be put into the exhibition space in a more conceptual way perhaps using the making and materiality of the objects in some way. With my twine/cilice work I really enjoy how the work looks during the making of it attached to the wall so I think I might make one in the space and for now I can just develop different ways of making and maybe incorporating other materials into it. I had the idea to mix in my fluting ceramic slab work into it as the both occupy the realm of clothing taken away from wearability. 

I've also wanted to introduce found objects into the set up as well because the contrast of found objects with handmade pieces especially with the context of where my pieces come from would be an interesting route to take. The contrast of practical/spiritual, handmade/industrial and durable/fragile.

Found Object (Objet Trouvé)

A found object is a natural or man-made object, or fragment of an object, that is found (or sometimes bought) by an artist and kept because of some intrinsic interest the artist sees in it.Found objects (sometimes referred to by the French term for found object ‘objet trouvé’) may be put on a shelf and treated as works of art in themselves, as well as providing inspiration for the artist. The sculptor Henry Moore for example collected bones and flints which he seems to have treated as natural sculptures as well as sources for his own work. Found objects may also be modified by the artist and presented as art, either more or less intact as in the Dada and surrealist artist Marcel Duchamp’s readymades, or as part of an assemblage.
