Changes to my original project proposal
I was looking thought my project proposal and i think it has slightly changed throughout my project. I did not change it intentionally but i think it has developed as my project had gone along and i have experimented more. I am still looking at the ephemeral, this still interests me a great deal and i think it is something that is going to continue to interest me after this project. I am pleased that i have stuck to my work being more sculptural as i wanted to get back to making and experimenting. I have really enjoyed looking at sculpture as form and shape interest me, being able to mold things and manipulate shapes. I said i was going to look at the impermanence of liquids, i did do  this at the beginning of the project i looked at ink in water. That experiment influenced my work thought out. My final piece is still looking back at the shapes and patterns created so that my sculpture looks natural and fluid like. I have also been using materials that start as a flowing liquid and set as a solid. 

I said in my project proposal that i would be looking at Lynda Benglis for inspiration, looking at her work, how it oozes across the room and looks like a moment frozen. I did look at Lynda but i do not think she needs to be include in my project proposal as she has not influence my work thought out. I think either Katie wall banks or alburt seveso would be more appropriate  These artists have a direct link through out my project and i kept referring back to them. 

I said that i would look at different ways or creating a frozen moment, i think i need to change this slightly. I am still looking at the frozen moment but more thought the use of materials. My work became material led and i need to talk about this in my project proposal. 

I have explored the notion of the uncanny, i have made reference to it throughout my work. I think this theory was really interesting and one which i will properly develop in later projects. My work is most like this theory as i look at distorting and combining materials so that they become something new. I did also look at the theory of the sublime thought out my work as although it was not intentional people found a sense of beauty in my work. I think this is thought the use of combining materials and so i have also made reference to this theory but my project is not as influenced by it as the notion of the uncanny. 

I said i would create large installations, i have now researched in to what installation and sculpture means to different people. I think that my work could become an installation but at this moment is More like a sculpture. I need to look more closely at what i believe sculpture is and how my work has branched away from installation. The materials that i said i would explore have also changed, i said i would experiment with plaster, expanding foam and wax. I felt that my work branched away from plaster as i wanted to create a form out of the material and plaster was not strong enough. I felt that with plaster i would have to much control over the shape and there would be no natural grown in the work. I instead experimented with wax, hot glue, expanding foam, fabric and a little bit with paint. 

I said that my work should be able to successfully communicate movement. This is something that i have aimed for which each of my experiments. I think some experiments have been more successful than others at communicating this. I think i learnt that i need to look more at the materials i was using in order to communicate fluid movement to people. I feel like my idea for my final major project does successfully communicate movement and people will look at it and see a sense of fluid. 

One thing that i have not stuck to throughout my project that i originality proposed i would do was to be inspired through nature. I said that my project will have a sense of the natural in it, look at storms and clouds and rivers for inspiration. Originally i did do this, i took inspiration from the movement of clouds. I thought that the cloud project was unsuccessful and so took another route with my project. I instead looked at materials for inspiration to installing a sense of movement.
