Don't Touch

I hate not being able to blog, I haven't wanted to because I've spent so much time blogging about my museum project I wanted my tutors to find the post's with ease. Still not sure if their still marking or not but I just thought I'd add this post because it's connected. 

The day after I thought it was all over I had a phone call off one of my teachers Carroll, I had written all over the floor of my museum project. I didn't think it was a big deal, I had asked the care taker and he said it should be fine. Later my mother told me it was really old, expensive flooring and some important people wanted to inspect the building. So it was completely fair they made me come in to scrap all the writing off, though I wasn't the happiest about it at the time. I was so determined to get it all off and get out of there it only took me about 3 hours I thought it would be a lot more. 

I did like the writing so thank god Charlie took a photo of my horrible language I wrote on the floor. The only reason I wrote such things was because after I had set up all my chairs and made them perfect some one came in a rearranged them all and sacked them neatly. 

I love the photo Charlie took.

Chair Museum.

This is the final out come of my chair museum, I've been collecting peoples drawings of chairs for the last few months, as you may have noticed I've been blogging about every one who has contributed. Just a huge thank you to every one who did, especially to Charlie who helped the most, setting the chairs up and drawing endless chairs for me. 

The mountain of chairs was inspired by Carwyn Evans' "Unlliw. I really loved the chaos that is Unlliw, the piles of 6,500 cardboard bird boxes represent he anger towards building 6,500 new houses in Carwyn's quite home town in Ceredigion in Wales. 

Museums are normally really neat and perfectly measured and white, I really wanted to just do a huge mess of a museum, throwing every thing every where. But thinking about it, Just having a huge mess wasn't enough. So thinking back to Carwyn's work I thought I should pick one object. 

Thinking about the houses and them all being the same I thought, "yeah the house's are the same but what about the people inside them, people come in all different shapes and sizes." So I had to find something that changed in style but the same object. Then it came to me, chairs! Chairs are interesting, come in all different shapes and sizes. Plus nice chairs remind me of my Granddad, he is a carpenter who fixes antiques. When I used to stay over his as a child I used to go in there and see all the broken chairs being glued back together and the smell was always amazing. In fact I once tried building a bird box in his workshop at the bottom on his garden once. 

I really love the out come of this project, it's huge and unstable, it's meant to make you feel uncomfortable. In fact I have placed some art pieces oddly to annoy some people as it would annoy me too. It took me a long time to find all of these chairs as they were locked aways or scattered all over the university. I had a lot of fun with it though and really love the outcome. 

The photo may be changed later, I just like the uneven layering of the photos, it goes well with the museum. 

A Taylor's Chair

I didn't get a name with this drawing only a email so I'm guessing the name began with an A and the second name is Taylor. As soon as 'i fin out the post will change.

I love this Chair, I love the scribbled back ground. The chair was leopard print, I love the attempted spots. I completely understand why they had no continued with the print but (as bad as it sounds) I'm glad they didn't, the few spots that there are gives it more personality.  

I was trying to recreate the shape of this chair with ink and a pan brush, obviously I know you could never get the beautiful detail with a pain brush but it really made me appropriate the flow of this drawing even more. I really love how the line on the arm on the left carrying on to the right arm, I just really love how all the lines flow.

Joe's chair

Again, Joe didn't put his name down so I'm not sure of his second name. I really love the white pencil for the lighting. I also really love the lines on the floor, it looks like really harsh shadowing. All these chairs are perfectly drawn.

Laura New's Chair

I made the lines a lot more harsh on photoshop just to exaggerated the amazing scribbling.

Dylan Teague's Chair

I love this chair, It's so beautifully drawn in orange too. It was created by Dylan Teague, I really love the fact it's perfectly drawn then the feet are just scribbled. Probably only because I rushed them when the 10 minutes were up, but is a great effect.

Graham Goldsworthy

This was created by Graham Goldsworth, again I love the shading on this piece and it really looks like there's a harsh light shining on the chair. I also really love the thin dark lines for the legs of the chair and then the softness of the seat it's self.
