Sensation and Space



Navigating Spaces was an exhibition with Chelsea college in AG23, 1st December, 2011

this show was with five other artists, each of us creating work around the theme, navigating spaces. this was the perfect opportunity to showcase my installation, and view the reaction. The result was satisfactory; the work I created was intended to make the viewer question weather they are at play or trapped.

words used to describe the installation was
"like being a child hiding amongst a rail of coat, it reminds me of the entrance to Narnia."
"being cut off and lost in a world, the repetition of fabric making the installation difficult to navigate."
and
"i keep getting lost in the installation every time I try to get out of the studio!"



the over all feeling of the show was that of entering each different room was like travelling into another world. It played with the sense of space, and the way the work was hung created a new landscape that the viewer had to navigate.








This film below is overlay with sounds of couple talking in a language I don't understand. Within the film it is difficult to get forward the effect of the installation, as it is based on the sense of being trapped, and is quite dark in places. But I hope this film brings forward the fluidity delicacy of the installation, and how it changes the space surrounding it.
