So I thought about the concepts I had gone through already, looking into the areas of escapism, creation, destruction and tracking of trails. I opted to draw a chalk version of the well known flypath on the floor outside the entrance to Telford College. The place was very significant to the piece as it makes [...]

Robert Rauschenberg, Erased de Kooning Drawing, 1953 I really like the idea of this piece, there’s a great video on youtube with RR talking about the art and his experience behind it. A lot of people saw this as an act of attention but I believe it to be a very interesting work. It is [...]

So I got back to the studio and asked Carrie if I could use her whiteboard. IT rubs out things efficiently without leaving any marks. This was similar to some of the concepts I’d been going through in my head such as the unappreciation of the flies escape route. I would eliminate any knowledge of [...]

So after my chalkwalk, I decided I should do more with the chalk and I drew the line that the fly took and rubbed it out like in my previous small drawings with charcoal. SO that was interesting, I decided to walk all over it in my bear feet like last time to see the [...]

I have decided with Jennie’s guidance not to opt for the last idea, mainly as it conflicts completely with the other work I’ve done so far. So I have created a flypath for myself, empathising with the insect. I drew a chalk circle on the ground and then folowed the path the fly made whilst [...]

So today, I forgot my sketchbook so its hard to continue on anything that I had been doing. This did however give me time to reflect on what I had done and develop my work away from the dead end it was reaching fast. So I said to myself where can this go? I looked [...]

I got interested in the idea that one can get trapped in its own escape route, “like in donnie darko but only behind you” as hannah says. So basically I ended up tying a large bit of string around me and then to the wall. This would record everywhere I went for that period of [...]

The works on the youtube site below contain really quite horrific images so don’t watch them if you’re not up for that. I’d like to say I don’t support what this artist does especially through his cruelty to animals but really he is just highlighting nature and natural impulses. I think his art is really [...]

We come back after a absolutely exhausting holiday and are given another stressful project. This time its only two weeks long, but that adds more to the stress. EVERYTHING HAS TO BE DONE IN A WEEK AND A BIT so yeah i chose to work on escape routes from inside to outside as i love [...]
