Independence

When you move out of your parents house and start to study you begin to be on your own. My project is to symbolise this "lost feeling" via making the campus "baby safe" with crocheting cover in the warning colors yellow and black.

I found some "dangerous" places and items on campus and now I´m in progress to crochet the protection to not get hurt on them. For the presentation I will show as much as possible in original and take photos of the other pieces.

I´m feeling like a grandmother doing crochet all the time :)

Final Progress Mark Z

So far for this project I have finally concluded the idea I am using and how im constructing the different foods.  The week/weekend was extremely busy with finalizing my other projects as well.  Now that everything is squared away Ill be able to put all my attention to our design.

Progress on my Final project

I would love to say that I've made terrific progress on my project, but then I'd be lying. I'm still pretty clueless as to what I'm going to make, this project has given my brain a run for its money. I was talking with Sam a lot last class about myself in order to hopefully get some good ideas going. What we established was that I'm a big fan of vulgarity and inappropriate stuff, I can yoyo and that I'm decent at taking photos. Overall, I realized that I don't know myself that well.

My best bet at this point and time is to make the person peering over a bathroom stall with a camera in the Women's room since that's disgusting and creepy.

So for my potholes that I've been working on, I poured a new one today that will be the biggest one. I started to carve them to look more like potholes, although I like how they look now, almost kind of crater-like.
I also messed around with color. Have not decided yet if I want to paint them to blend in with the cement or random colors to pop out more.

Update on my project for the assignment Removable interventions

My art will change the way of one's usual, logical thinking pattern and intentionally make them look at my piece through another perspective that may be  a suprised state of mind or at most, an uncomfortable state. Design element used are texture, color, and space.
For my piece, I'll be using skin wax and a CrockPot Cooker provided by Sam, plasture powder from our class, Velcro straps, a can of Great Stuff Insulating foam sealant, and cans of spray paint.

So far, I have completed one part of my piece: an arm. I left it in the class storage room with Sam's cooker to harden and to have plasture poured into it for the next few class meetings. I'll be using the skin wax and cooker again for my other arm and my feet. The can of Insulating foam sealant will be used to fill the gaps in my arms and legs after plasture hardens. I'll be building at least 5 more body parts by revealing them from hardened plasture. These parts will be spray painted and attached to my location's object. The Velcro straps will be affixed to the finished plasture arms to hold them in place on the object in the place I am working at in the Art Building and then spray painted as well.

The following are pics of materials for and completed parts of my artwork:

Hi
On Friday I made my first set of cutouts for the project, and tested them in various locations on campus to see what location was most interesting. This is on the engineering building on the other side of student union at around noon. After seeing one set done I am excited to see lots of people interacting with the wall, by climbing and doing other interesting things. I also bought my plastic to do as many forms as I can.
Good luck to everyone on their concepts,
Morgan
