More installation art

I really like this piece. It gave me an idea to get some clear balloons and fill them with 'blood' and hang them in a similar way to this. I think that would look quite interesting.

 

Tim Burton

I looked at Tim Burton's exhibition and found some creepy pieces of art that I think will really help me with my work and influence parts of it.

I think this piece is quite interesting and scary in a way,

I might try something like this in my work but not as 'surreal' as Tim Burton.

 

 

I really like this piece. I like how they use light to create a creepy

feeling because we use light as a child to not be scared of the dark

but they have used it the completely opposite way.

I really like all these pieces of work and I think they will influence my work quite a lot.

FMP

For my FMP, I decided I would carry on with fear and phobias. I started by looking through what  had already done and thinking of new ideas that could incorporate the theme I had come up with. Although I have no clue whether I want my final outcome to be a sculpture/installation or a garment, I started to look into doll houses and Eleanor showed me a piece by Tim Burton of a small house with a creepy figure inside and a mirror with feet in and blood all over the walls. I then started to design my own ideas of what I could do in my doll house to make it feel scary and uncomfortable. After designing a few ideas I realised they all seemed to look like Tim Burton's little house and didn't look very original so I started thinking about an installation instead. I couldn't decide whether I wanted a maze type thing or a hall of mirrors but I knew I wanted people to be able to get lost in it and feel uncomfortable or lost, like how phobias make you feel. I then thought I could add some sound effects like creepy child laughter and other eerie sounds and then Eleanor could be running around the same installation laughing then eventually pop out and scare the people/person inside. I got my inspiration for this from the Halloween events at theme parks such as Alton Towers and Thorpe Park where strange people follow you around a maze or a building and people pop out from behind doors/objects. I then started to research 'Installation art' and then I came up with something completely different where I would use origami to create 'knife' looking or 'sharp' objects that I could hang from the ceiling. I wanted there to be loads of them so as soon as you walk in you are greeted by these really sharp looking objects but you cant tell they are just paper therefore you would be scared because you would think you almost got stabbed. I haven't quite decided what I will do for my final outcome but I think it will more than likely be an installation piece rather than a garment or performance or a painting.

Final Major project

I want to continue exploring fear and phobias for my final major project. I decided to look at doll houses because one of my ideas was to create a small doll house thing for people to look into.










I then looked at a piece by Tim Burton from the Tim Burton museum. I thought it looked quite creepy so I decided to use it as inspiration for my work.
