Monday 02/10/23

I started the day by going to a clay workshop. Elaine taught us how to work with a pottery wheel, a slab roller, how to roll clay with a wooden rolling pin, how to make pin pots and how to use different materials to create patterns on clay.

We worked with white clay and she told us the difference between it and red terracotta clay.

Above is the work I made, some pin pots and the beginnings of a slab.

She taught us as well how to wrap the clay in cling film which helps it to retain its moisture, so it doesn't dry and harden.

We were encouraged by staff to try move to different rooms during the day to get a feel for what was going on there. So at 12pm, I decided to go to the fashion textile room and Mairead Neil and Giordana Gaiche helped me with ideas for creating my brain (something I want to create for the radius project).

I wanted it to portray well that it is not happy to be mentally disabled but finds comfort in it too. It dangerously balances between healthy and unhealthy.

Over the weekend (as seen from the first picture above) I created a brain like material by crocheting wool (I got help to make this from a YouTube tutorial https://youtu.be/4T5tEOil2mA?si=n5l2sF-aMOcT5K7s).

I gathered some random coloured wool in the fashion textile room, and began to weave this in and out of the brain. The different colours represented emotions.

The black in the middle of the brain represents a black hole, deep and unending. I used a cut off of black material (I think maybe a mixture of cotton and polyester) at first with this but I am now thinking of trying to use a wetter looking material like PU leather or dipping material in wax (to give it a wet look)
