Today i found out i'm very likely going to Berlin, by very likely i mean we are booking flights tomorrow. I'm am rather excited to say THE LEAST!!!! The art and even more so german design is a delight. The German's were pioneers in great design and this means i will have to get off my lazy a and read my Bauhaus book so i know but stuff.
I'm pretty excited the Germany in fact more to the point Berlin will be the first place i go to. I wanted my destination to significant to me, not somewhere i just partied with my mates and sunbathed, of course there will be time for this nonsense too. I'm hoping Berlin could be the life changing experience i need, in which i find something new and exciting and loose myself physically and mentally in a great city. I'll also be with wonderful people which will make it less scary and it makes my Easter far more productive than it would be spent in Grottingham.
I can't wait to book tickets, to have a plan that i stick to. I have spent far too long wasting life, waiting for things to happen and now i'm making them happen. It's pretty spectacular. In further news i have split my blog into two half in order to keep it organised, one blog for contextual work and general things i am inspired by [here] and my old blog will be used for personal work and extra curricular activities. I'm also going to make a music blog, which i can't wait for either, which i am currently putting underway.
Anyway all of this aside the more important matter is as always what i have seen that i have fallen in love with.
We were given our FABA brief yesterday which is based on 'Materiality', how we choose and work with materials oin our practice. I am seriously beyond language in terms of my excitement as i'm about to step back into what i once loved, working with materials and into unknown territory with new ones. Amongst many ideas one i have been considering is greatly is Collage.
I find that collage can be much more complex than people would imagine as the placement and choice of materials becomes almost mathmatical. Surfaces need to be prepared and considerations such as palette must be taken on board. This is by no means any easier than painting in fact it is simply painting with the ready made. One image can take on a whole new meaning, impression simply thrugh how it is placed. I also like doing collage for the simple fact that it reminds me of childishness, naivity, warmth and happiness. I want to get back to such frames of mind because they come hand in hand with what i plan to work on during my project.
And so here is some gorgeous collage work from many sources i have browsed over the recent days, cleverly i didn't keep track of all the names so i've decided to leave these a blank for now. In this instance it really is about image anyhow, and that is what is important.
