Work process: home studio work this week

I spent quite a lot of time at my home studio, the longer I stay, the messy it is. And this is how I build up my relationship with a space, I like watching my paint brush, my art books, my paint, my drawing in everywhere of my working area. I like this place so I want to draw it out to remember the feeling at that moment, I pretty sure that I will enjoy my studio sketching very much a year later,I looks forward to see the change of each corner and brush position.

This is the idea comes from the light and shadow while someone standing inside a tent with light. Could say as an experiment.

This is a shadow of a window in Cardiff castle.

Cross year Crit

The cross year Crit Hv been finished, what I have share is the work I m working with these days, the mouths on ball. It is a further idea development of last year which is start from my interest in looking at mouth. Wondering what chemical effect will happen by using different medium,
and thus Ceramic become a first try. Tho the color now is plain ，I m thinking of combining  a concept of color with it which is the color of a portrait, using the color texting paper's color to put on another object, and the color is as as actually another form of the portrait (in a abstract form ). However, the connection between them is still missing out, it a problem I m facing at the moment. Draw more to fix it by brain storming!!!!!!!!!

Second visit to Hayward Gallery for the 'art of change '

After few visit on the listed exhibition for essay 1, and reading to the suggested bibliography, I got more ideas of medium. And i thought the exhibition in Hayward Gallery is the most interesting and suitable one for me to experiment my point of view to the importance of medium in a work of art. 

Medium could be not only the physical substance, medium could even be that the message. Once it exist, medium itself must carrying a role to express the work of art and it is inseparable from an experience or reading of a work of art.

While experiencing an work of art, the more realistic the work, the less prominent is the medium and discipline. It is one of a cutting point to view the importance in the reading or experience of a work of art.

I want to apply this theory to the work of  Sun Yuan and Peng Yu, “Civilization Pillar”(2001). When people first sight it, it is a pillar with bright-colored made by some unknown substance, and a question of what material it is using may raise in audience mind in order to link up to the metaphors . The medium shows here is very obstructive that make the viewers cannot ignore its participate. It also shows the medium itself bears a significant meaning in the artist idea and essence concept which the human fat is actually a signifier, a monument, that symbolizes our own time by hiding in the outlook of a pillar from a magnificent temple from distance. It could be analyzed as the the artist adding value to a meaningless object like fat here to make the art work works, but the fat itself as a material contain its own characteristic and content ,is also supporting back the artist thought. Which means the medium and the artist concept constructed a inseparable symbiotic relationship and “content of any medium is always another medium” . Therefore , medium is the message, and this show the importance of medium in reading and experiencing a work of art.
