Again the material of paper is obviously rel event with this artist.I think that creating something out of a material which shouldn't be used for that function. I like how they are really delicate and create virtual book as if a piece of paper is creating a story.

Grégoire Alexandre

This is a powerful statement as it is a structure which takes over a room. I love the way in which people can interact with the space in the way they can walk around and within this creating an atmosphere. He had used paper in a create way which is a material I could consider using one of Lucy's main passions is books. The Blocks also could be good as she always uses boxes to store things so could create a flooring or wall of a structure to contain all her books or work.

Fashion Architecture Taste

42 Hoxton Square, London, 2008, KK Outlet
When firstly looking into design and artist research I came across this office and gallery space which to me looked quite dolls house like, which is seemed relevant for the temporary space. This also is a good way in which they have divided the different functional spaces so that they are septate from one another.

Offices for Kessels Kramer, Amsterdam, Holland.
This is another one of their offices which has been created from recycled materials such as a wooden fort, fragment of shed and life guards watch tower which I think works really well. This would be also relevant for re-using materials within this project.

Lucy May Schofield

These are some key words which I got off the lecture. Creating Narratives. Journey. BABL. Collecting Objects. A way of communication. Something that makes you think. Views from the window. Weather. History of objects. Book Binding. Type Writer. Fonts. Book Collection. Citron Van. Cup of teas. Love letters. Road Kill. Languages. Poems. Library. These are the things which I should research into.

Poetry

When looking over Lucy's blog I noted that there was some poetry, I can see how this would be relevenet as most poetry have a hidden story and depening on how you read it it can show different meanings. This is something which could be useful to use when it comes to the text, or creating a story within the room.

My words fly up, my thoughts remain below Shakespeare Hamlet

BABL

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/alternativemedicine/3312699/One-chapter-twice-a-day.html

BABL was something which I had not heard of before until the start of this project. I did some research into it, and it seems to be another form of therapy for people with slight depression or people who are stressed.This was done by getting people to read a book out loud to make them feel better. I think this is a lovely way of thinking and something which is obviously important to Lucy and what thrives to do. She includes books that are her own and other artists and people can buy, borrow or swap the books. She travels around in her car or now her new van. This space which I could create could be ether a transient space or a temporary.

Narrative Objects - story letting and staging.

Back to University today and I am so ready to get stuck into another project after a long 6 weeks off over Christmas! -- I sure have missed it!
The project is called Narrative Objects - story letting and staging. Our protagonist is Lucy May Schofield who is an artist and a book binder. Lucy makes objects into house stories that may otherwise go untold. In creating narratives, she accompanies the viewer on a journey, often manifesting in an installation, multiple or artist's book.

My options on what I could create is-
1. A Permanent space for Lucys Bibliotherapy
2. A Transient (travelling) space.
3. A Temporary space (Installation/experience/exhibition)

This is this means I need to get onto the Internet and into the library and get some research done!

Winter Break to Chester

Me and my boyfriend both went to Chester over the Christmas holidays to have a nice break off to relax and explore a town. We visited the Grovner Museum, The race Courses and walked all around the walls. Would have been nicer if it was still snowing around though :P x

Final Models

I know I have just skipped a lot of work, but once I have got my porfolio back I will be getting some more photos of my work onto there. I decided to make my model out of timber and aluminum. This is so that wherever the space will be it is hard wearing and will be something to stay in Blackpool for a long time and the light metal so that the walls can be changed around so that the exhibitions can be changed around. I am really happy with the final outcome, especially being only my first time messing around with these materials and just discovering my style. :) x

Madrid Trip

Madrid was just amazing! We went for a university trip early November and I will definitely be returning.

Winter Nights

Sketch Models.

Before doing any sketches the best way to start a model is getting a simple material - card - and seeing what shapes you can come up with. This was the perfect thing for development combining the models together or seeing what worked and what didn't.
I had developed my research by looking more into transport and their stations or stops. They usualy are long and thin so this is something I wanted to incorporate in this model. These are a couple of examples which I had done.

People Museum

Update

Not really had time up to now to update things on here but here is some things which I have been getting up to on my new course.

Firstly I went on a trip to the seaside town of Blackpool to look at the transportation and why it is so important for the tourists and the locals. I found that the transportation isn't a typical town transportation it is used for entertainment purposes in the way that people will get on a donkey to go up and down a beach and how people will use the tram for experience rather than convenience -- as we all know how slow they go :P





Following my second journey down to Blackpool, I wanted to find out whether the people of Blackpool actually did find the transportation a "thrill". We focused on looking at the trams, horse and carriage and the pleasure beach to allow me to compare the different responses. I found that it seemed that the kids were having the best time making new memories and the older people who recall their memories from the past. For example one woman said that she used to call the tram "the bone shaker" which makes it sound like a ride....Now where can I take this next....

Im Back!!

Summer is almost over and my first year in Interior Design has almost begun and I have just been sent my summer project, so I better get stuck into it!
