I had the idea of creating a large scale illustration at Billboard dimensions. I wanted this to be a my own take on “urban interventionism” , inspired by the artists I had been researching. The idea was to present an image of society, like a mirror to the public, to show them the trivial emptiness that is our consumer led, capitalist-created way of living. It would be a marching herd of half human/ half robot creatures, with distorted screens for eyes, floating headless features and taped up- temporary smiles. The streets they walked through would be constructed with advertisements and flickering screens, framing and enclosing the street. I still like this idea and its probably something I will visit again, and Im kind of annoyed I didn’t follow through with this and create a large scale illustration, but i’ve still got time I suppose. The fact that I couldn’t actually post this on a billboard because it’s against the ethics code upset me and pushed me into a different direction.

slightly more detailed development of the sculpture plans, detailing materials and scale.

Following from last semester, I had the idea that I wanted to create work based around “Sin, Sex and Madness”. This would be a personal project that highlighted and played with not only my personal interests and emotions, but what i consider to be the hidden qualities of society; The things people quietly obsess over. I planned to build continue my sculpture and create work that complimented and grew from my previous ideas. I wanted to hold a Solo exhibition at the end of this semester to showcase my work and open myself up to the design industry. The theme balanced humour and irreverence with sex and sociological commentary with a bright and candy-like colour palette. I chose this subject and style most importantly because It was fun to me and in my current mental state, my soul motivation to create was to have a good time, and bring fun to others who witnessed it too.
