Universe in a Box Reflection (Written 15-09-13)


I feel I have an interesting collection of things in my box, which I am keen to explore further. I have found that collecting materials and objects has provided me with quite a few ideas - I haven’t really done this in such a defined way before, and only did so at the suggestion of the brief but I will certainly do so again in future. I have found keeping a sketch book the most coherent way of documenting my ideas; I think this is probably because I am used to doing so. Keeping a sketch book seems to allow me a space to look at images and take them further with drawings and collage, as well as making visual associations… the juxtaposition of images I find really useful in coming up with new ideas, different concepts can be linked together in their aesthetic similarities and I find this inspiring.

From the work I have done in my sketch book, I feel that to continue this project I might want to investigate habitats. I have been looking at a lot of natural structures such as tree roots, plants and wasps nest and these have led me to consider growth in nature, and how animals and humans build things around them to live in or amongst.
