Sculpture 1

Again, first day of a three-day session - working on one project. We'll be making an environment within a box - somehow - with the starting point being the psychological implications of how the box is used, and relating one or two of these potentially emotional words: Secrecy; Claustrophobia: Treasured; Expansive; Theatrical; Labyrinth. In the group crit on the third day, the others will try to figure out which of these words was the starting point.

Some things to think about:
1. What does the word actually represent?
2. What kind of box to underline the concept?
3. How to create the illusion of space perspective, colour, patterns...
4. How do you look at the message in the box?
5. Is it necessarily going to be a visual approach?
6. How does light enter the space?

First we "word-stormed" - here are a couple of the results -

Then we got busy on worksheets and with the materials to hand. My first attempt needs a rethink -
...or, a fresh cut -- a slip of the scissors and you could have ... a window-box?
You gotta be open to new ideas, right?

And here are some sculptural snacky things - "lips and teeth" (jelly babies) -
