Exquisite Landscapes

2009-06-06T09:03:00.000-07:00

These are really terrible photos - but I'm in a rush and I couldn't get much better with the time I had. In each box are layers and layers of drawing on acetate. Each drawer is for each of the five sections that you mentioned - people, animals, manmade objects, natural objects, plants, and when you look down on the boxes it (sort of) makes a landscape - strange landscape. I am pretty much finished but want to add some little drawings on different paper, objects, text, and a few other bits and bobs, just for depth and texture. I'm leaving it now because I want to look at it tomorrow anew.

Sorry again for the crap images, I hope you like it. xxx

Hi Elle, This is how far I've got... I like them... but not sure if they're quite there yet??! I'm going to try some drawings on tracing paper and another thinner crream paper... I'm also going to see if I can create some sort of conversation between my layers-not quite sure how yet! It looks cool with a flashing light underneath anyway! Post up your work soon, looking forward to seeing it.xx

Your progress so far is really beautiful. I pretty much have an idea for each layer. I have made a rough plan for each and now just need to spend the rest of the time finishing each layer. My next day of work is Sunday, so I'll post more on Sunday morning.

Yes, I've heard of Sarah Sze - she was one or the artists I looked a lot at during the BA. Above are a few of the things that have inspired me so far.

Looking forward to getting to work on Sunday.

Hey there, worked on this yesterday - so I have an idea for something on each layer now, just need to work on refining some of the making and adding to the layers to make them richer and more complex.

Have to say, I'm loving this way of working, if we had more time/money I could imagine a little cluster of these towers so that they become like an urban landscape in the installation.

Do you know Sarah Sze? She has so inspired me on this project, I really think the way I will install the work should be discreet and stumbled across, need to check out potential spaces at the department this afternoon... will let you know.xx

Anyway, - the Aberystwyth map is cut out and stands on pins, I really liked the fragility of this - makes me start to think of landscape as a fragile memory and the structure of the map with this organic quality begins to make me think of synapses in the brain and stoooof! Haha! that sounds a bit pretentious now, it is pretty too me thinks!x
