my stop animation haS to be the most fun i've had all year  !!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s10EVKl2QS0&feature=youtu.be

here's the link to the video ... a lot of effort and time went into it so please enjoy !! :)

from this i progressed with my vacuum moulds which resulted in a series of prints and later a massive sculpture

 

these are the spirals and coils i created for my suspension chair
these were influence by the balls of your feet and how much pressure they can take.

 

my next project was influenced by the work of matisse and his jazz shapes... from these i created a series of foot prints based on the positions i learned at ballet ... these progressed from a simple form to a collection of forms
this mutated then to other works not jus the water colours

rite ... since youtube or blogger seem to be failing me ... here's the link to my video

after much trial and error i decided that less is more when it concerns what i need from the piece !
the reinforced glass i managed to acquire will rest on top of this frame whilst i step on top and record underneath.
This experiment is to record and get a better comprehension of how the foot compresses and compacts when a downward force is applied  .... F= ma .. N.B. be careful not to apply too much downward pressure as the frame will not take any more weight than myself and the pane of glass ... i will try to get a variation of steps and jumps throughout the course of this experiment :)

South Korean artist Yun-Woo Choi creates mind-bending three-dimensional sculptures out of rolled-up recycled magazines like artist David Mach. Captivated by theoretical physics and the notion of multiple dimensions (14 in all, according to scientists), Choi uses his art to explore the possibility that emotions, dreams and even god occupy some kind of invisible space. And he does all this without creating a pile of waste.

 

Using resin, wire and recycled newspapers and magazines, Choi creates 3-D sculptures that are at once ephemeral and actually quite solid. The giant funnel that protrudes from a wall looks very similar to Alicia Martin’s book sculptures that appear to pour out of walls – at least in terms of its apparent strength.

 

 

I find a great energy and momentum are captured in these pieces , alot of ideas to be taken from the artists use of materials and use of recycled goods and textures
