Final sculptural week and assessment...
Its all over now..... 3 weeks of material manipulation and its all finished now. I've really enjoyed this time and hopefully (fingers, toes and eyes crossed) il be able to enjoy the next 3 years in sculpture.
The room has really seemed to gel together and with so many ideas floating around and everybody willing to give their opinions constructively it will definetaly be a group to be reckoned with.
Late this week we removed all the tables (with Mike Cannings encouragement) and after quietly grumbling about the reality of working on the floor and the lack of storage space I finally accepted the fact that it did make sense (although I wouldn't be able to work that way for long), with all the tables gone the room seemed bigger and the sculptural pieces were able to be presented in less conventional ways.
My area seemed almost clinical compared to everywhere else, due to the lack of color (black & white) but it did seem to fit in well with all the other works that were created around the room. I finished the brainstorm wall off by running the images onto the floor, the screen was turned around so the inside became visible which gave an interesting visual effect (nothing like what I had imagined) I had intended to lay out my pieces in an installation style grouping with all of them working together but in hindsight the pieces I created worked much better as seperate works and overall I was happy with the layout.
I will upload the images as soon as I get a spare moment and good luck to everyone, I hope you all get your first choices x

2nd week of ranking project...
The pace of work within the room seems to have quickened this week, its seems like over night large alien-like structures have sprung up everywhere. Im still working within the confines of my brain, trying to push my thoughts and visual interpretations as far as I can to reach an unknown end. At this stage I am surrounding myself with brainstorm images and creating a closed off space where I intend to keep my thoughts, the outside of this space (screen) seems to be taking on an air of calm which I suppose is the way the brain works (everything goes on inside your head and others only know what your thinking when you speak and give them a glimpse).
The patterns within the brainstorms (including the screen which is, in itself a burst of thought) is based on the neuron network inside the brain. Each image or thought is connected in some way, regardless of how remote it may seem.
At the moment I am working on the screen structure, a video piece which is based on the neuron waves and a metal work 3d sculpture which I am in the process of welding together so that it can represent the chaotic thought processes that go on inside your brain.
All in all im really enjoying the freedom allowed within this brief and by working on several different pieces at the same time I have found a way of making sure I don't get bored (remind me of this last comment when im up to my ears and have several different projects to complete for an early deadline ha)
Will upload the final video piece and more images when completed.
