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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
