During my 1:1 with Paul this week, I mentioned that I struggle with how I want my work to present to an audience, he then suggested Rachel Whiteread. Her work instantly appealed to me as I am considering adding a sculpture element to my work.
Her series Detached interests me. She produces sculptures by casting everyday objects from boxes to houses with materials such as rubber, and resin to record every detail. I like that she chooses to work with everyday mundane objects that we can relate to and turn them into fascinating sculptures that we can consider and celebrate a small piece of daily life that is often overlooked.
I don't think I want to work on such a large scale, but I have been thinking about using clay in some way. Creating small sculptures that possibly have my images printed on them and placing them in an open space where people can interact with them.
