The deadline is coming in five weeks from now, all the experiments and tests I made so far are kind of mess up my mind, thus I decide to review the whole process and dedicate to find the final idea.
As you can the video above is showing the body casting transfer to ceramic outcome, the letters are from my son's handwriting. The process is success and the result is great, clear images, contrast, delivery motherhood memory and the love between me and my son. However, at this step of the project, is this strong enough to bring the topic to the end, even I make ten of this sculptures and hanging them together? I don't think so!
Sculpting glass. The result is great to me because it's a new try about my creative experience. It's a first done for me to make anything by glass which is I always wanted to try since last year.
I even made a lot more molds to prepare for the further glass making. By the same time I also doing other experiments, after the excitement I look back to the glass tits, I start to think, is this the right thing to do my story telling? What else the audience can read except a glass tit? The answer is Nothing! This decision is not difficult to make, at least I learned a new skill!
Transfer photography onto fabric by emulsion print. This test is definitely success as well. I do love the effect on the fabric, it gives the images age, seeing my face and bodies sections on a big piece of fabric, I feel that I am a woman that has stories to tell, however, there's no clue about what kind of story that I want to tell. That's the reason I dump this idea.
More studio shooting, again by someone else. To be honest, seeing the result of the photography by this experiment, I feel awkward for myself. I am completely not me anymore! I don't know who the person is in the pictures! The environment isn't right, the dress, the hair, the makeup, the pose, none of them is right to me even other classmates and teachers gave positive comments about them. The whole project is about me and mine experience, self- awareness, female strength, if I couldn't recognise myself, this idea needs to dump!
Leather sculpting and stitching. Once again, same situation as the glass making I admit. First try, new skill, but nothing could help me to tell my story! Idea dump!
Painting experiment. Simple reason to dump it- boring!
The final plan is coming front of me naturally. The photography I took by myself, for myself in my house. Acting as me and myself. They are speaking loudly, my struggling, my rage, my life, my beauty, my screaming...…
Now all the elements are on the table, how to serve them?
