MICHAEL KIDNER ANALYSIS

After looking and analysing my space I knew that there as something missing because my neon colours weren’t working with the wood. By changing the wood this would create a different aspect to my space. Experimenting and testing took a while because I discovered that too much neon clashes together. I knew that I wanted my space to produce an impact so I had to almost make the wood blend in with the background of the space. After my experiments I made the decision to paint the wood the same colour as the space, this almost camouflages the wood. Also by changing the balance of the space I placed the frame on a different angle because I conceived it resembled a tent and I didn’t want this. I had to have this shape because of health and safety reasons. However I had to work keeping this in my mind. Commenced to manipulate my shape the way I wanted it to come across to an audience.

CHANGING EXPERIMENTS

SCALE EXPERIMENTS

MICHAEL KIDNER

Creating and experimenting with the abstract spaces then applying some of the improved ideas to the lager space I had my peer’s reflection on them. I find that having other reflections towards my work helps me critical analyse what I have created. When I am explaining my concept across to my peers they need to understand my thoughts, reasoning and choice behind the selection. These boards are a representation of all that!

 After experimenting and repeating on the larger space I found an embroidery style which works. The technique is the idea of couching and pinning. However I have changed the style from being traditional to more contemporary style. I would still continue with the use of lines so transforming the materials. At the moment I like deconstructing the resources because it is a transformation. For example unthreading ribbon is deconstructing and changing it in to something different. It almost has a hair equality towards the work.

CONTEXT FOR MICHAEL KIDNER

 

Within my context I am transforming mundane materials and transforming them in to something magical. The idea is taking the materials and create something you have not seen before. Within Michael Kidner brief with me it is all about the elasticity, manipulating and colour of the materials.

Mundane materials are the resources we use in everyday life such as tights, tape, bandages, rubber bands, cling film and fabric. The context is clear where I am just transforming these materials in to more interesting art pieces.

EXPERIMENTS FOR KIDNER

MICHAEL KIDNER

Looking back on the space, the colours and materials were working together. So I took the judgement of creating small spaces to work on to. However my larger space had no abstract look towards it because I had to think about the space, stand and it would be stable for me to work on to. In my drawings they have the abstract look because I didn’t want a plain shape. This was one of the main reasons and problems of why it is very like a tent to look at. The problem was that I needed the space on a large scale but sturdy because of the fact I was stretching materials and I didn’t want it to fall apart.

I took the decision to reflect back on to the space, use of materials and experiment on smaller spaces. The smaller spaces were easier to develop because I got to test with different and abstract shapes. I was still using the same mundane materials; however I combined them with the same four neon colours. This was to stay related to the context for the playfulness and experiment of Michael Kidner’s colours. With the spaces I got to start lots of experiments to do with pinning, tying, knotting and wrapping which I could apply to my larger space. On the other hand the frames kept my art work and experiments restricted. The reason for this is I kept to the shape of the space however in some of my experiments I didn’t cover all the sides which gave the spaces something different about them compared to the sculptures I covered. The smaller spaces were abstract and that is what I wanted from the beginning these odd shapes are what takes your interest  because you have never seen that shape before.
