I have concluded what I would like my BFA show to consider.
I am interested in exploring the way that
memories and
imagery go hand in hand. It is interesting how imagery can vary and how it can evoke certain
emotion within the viewer.
My goal, is to create an installation, that touches on certain elements of my own personal
nostaglic experiences. The room will assume human relation to the content, though it may have a sense of
surrealism to the mood. It will almost feel fantasy-like, as it you have stepped into an imaginary world.
Elements within the installation.
> Large pieces of fabric treated with cyanotype solution, to create life size photograms.
> The fabric will be peiceed together and back lit with black light to illuminate the elements.
(I am considering other colored lightings within the space to bring about a sense of surrealism)
> A video incorporating the elements within the photogram, to be projected onto the fabric.
> Laser cut silhouettes of the objects on the photogram. These elements will be smaller, and placed in front of the projector to allow for shadows to be cast.
(I am also considering creating larger laser cuts to be placed within the room to serve as imprintations of my nostalgic thoughts.
The imagery used is repeated to enforce the importance of these elements. The imagery is not directly related to the viewer, so the meaning is for their interpretation. The veiwer may find that these images provoke a memory or thought within themselves.
