Containment- test shoot

    

Sophie and I created a series of compositions within jars, trying to cross over the idea of Contamination | Containment. We filled them with 3D manmade and natural objects such as plants , rope and tubing. we then dropped inks and paints into them, the contrast of colour against the 3D objects created something very inspiring and different. The visual of containing the contaminated has worked especially well and I feel this installation illustrates our idea and concept fully.

JOANA VASCONCELOS. Time Machine.

I visited Manchester Art gallery today where Portuguese instillation artist Joana Vasconcelos has been exhibiting.  Here are a few photos of my favourite pieces from the exhibition,  all of the pieces were extravagant and all have obviously came from big ideas. All of her instillations are either hand made or created using other elements such as irons which have been created into robots. I was massively inspired by the vibrant colours and range of colours within the exhibition, I feel I could take some of these colour combinations through to my own work. The use of texture was also key and the combination of traditional textile and new technological techniques were inspiring.
