'Artificial World, Artificial Nature'
For
the Level 4 Fash Show of Leeds Metropolitan University,
I executed a piece called 'Artificial World, Artificial Nature;
including 4 umbrellas painted with acrylic paint. They were a
figurative representation of the sky with several clouds; I hung them
from the ceiling with the attempt to recreate an image of the sky
inside a room. The idea of painting umbrellas came in a random moment
of inspiration; and after I finished the piece I found out about Tobias Collier and how he depicted the night sky on a black umbrella 'Finite
Probabilities, Infinite Possibilities' (2006).
Although I expected other look for my piece and I was not completely
satisfied with the results, I will try again with umbrellas as I
think there is more possibilities to explore.
I
also made an improvised piece for the exhibition which like my
umbrellas worked with the theme of our room; dark beauty. The work
comprises of three spheres filled with water, artificial soil and
grass, sea shells and the head of a rose. Owing to the subject matter
of our show, I believe that my works achieved integration with the
other pieces in the exhibition.
