New Designs

Starting Work

I was off to a good start, got the right lengths and tied the correct angle...

 I came back from the beach with some more pieces.  Then it turns out it doesn't want to let me tie the next piece in, as it pulls it flat.  So I either use nails.. which I was hoping not to.  Or I find a new medium already...

 Turns out scaffolding looks like a great prospect, as you can see, the angles work great, and the round bar is ideal...  Now to find some I can have lol.

Core V

Just thought I should write something about the group exhibition in college I have been slightly involved in.  We had the lights fixed also =).

The image above is by Cari, of a lamb.  Her artist statement is beside it.  

 Above is my piece.  My only painting, with pencilled in angles.  I wrote a short artist statement after reading through a draft of my statement of intent.  Could've done with printing out a blank comment sheet though.

The people who make up Core Five exhibited different pieces of works in various frames like this, in college.  An "evolving" exhibition meant that a gradual change or improvement would be noticed during the period of time the exhibition was running.

Copyright's

Something all artists must consider in some form or another are copyright issues.  This was an interesting read and explains a bit: http://www.sculpture.org/documents/scmag05/may_05/webspecs/grant.shtml

"Based on your experience, what are the top three things you think artists should know about copyright if they are new to this professional concern?"

"I'd advise they learn how copyright arises in respect to the work that they create. They should also know about how ownership of copyright works; for example, they should make sure that if they create a work on commission for someone else, or someone makes a work for them, that there is an initial agreement on who the copyright owner is, what the copyright owner can do with the work, and the specified payment of a fee—or no fee. The third area I'd advise is learning a bit about how to avoid getting sued for copyright infringement. This included how to incorporate other people's work into their work and not going too far into the area of infringement. Within these three areas, there are a number of sub-issues, but what I've said is a general introduction covering most of it."

Earth Exhibition Photo's

The two photos below are from inside of one of those individual rooms, this one has Fred Baier's maquettes and sketches in.

 The work below is all of Fred Baier's sculptures from inside the gallery.

Below is a photo of Beverly Bell-Hughes' ceramics for the Earth Exibition.

Earth Exhibition

I went to an exhibition in Rhuthin not too long ago, where there were works my multiple artists ranging around the theme of "Earth".  I enjoyed the exhibition itself, yet alongside it there were works by Fred Baier.  It was his work that appealed to me more.  The gallery is really nice, also there was a cafe attached.  Another thing was that there were separate rooms that some artists seemed to be renting out for some of their work or to do work in.  
"Fred Baier’s work is sometimes described as demonstrating the principle that “form swallows function”. However, what Baier does is what Henry Moore did on the seashore. Moore found objects he could later twist into sculpture. Baier uses the computer to turn up three-dimensional forms from the seashore of mathematics."

The photos I took at this exhibition will be in the next post =].

Something I've just been working on

This is something I have made today and photographed at certain points of adding the new pieces.  But now I have to get some of the other stuff for the blog sorted out.  So look out for another update very soon.
