I meet with my partner Virginia to collaborate in our projects at the SCAD museum. I came with my unclear idea and insecurity. That's look like a real problem because I think that everyone in my class have a really good idea, but I'm still working in this. However I made a mock up of this idea, but it feel no quit there. So, we talked about this with Virginia and she was a good supported. She gave more ideas about this mock up. I was thinking in work with APPLES.
With my partner decided to came here because we need more inspiration. The expositions inside the museum are amazing. We spend more than a hour looking Oscar de la Renta, Xu Bing, and Ryoji Ikeda and I was amazed. I was before there last quarter, but in this time I was looking for a better idea and finally something pop up. I was watching a video installation of Xu Bing about the creation of cigarettes and the perceptions of this object. IT BLEW MY MIND!!! literally!!! When we went out I felt how the creativity works and how my feeling changed about my word (SYMBOLS).
After this I talked with Virginia about the ideas that I got about using an apple as a concept of the meaning. Now I don't know how to figured out how to do that because the whole information that I can get will be to broad or repeated. Anyways we worked in some meanings and this is what we got.
Apple could be anything related with different experiences that people have. Apple could be a symbol of the evolution of the mankind. Now I feel really good about this project.
Friday Afternoon
I took my sketch book and my mechanical pencil and I went to the beach for relax and inspiration. I spend at least 3 hours in the beach thinking about this project and meaning of my symbol (APPLE). In this state of relax and peace help me to understand the real proposal of my project. So, I came out with three different process and use of the environment as a medium.
Process 1
Collecting meaning around the apple and could be a lot!!!
Questions?
How to present this meaning?
Put objects around of the apple. Of course this process will have a lot of perceptions from people that will see this project.
Information
The data will be essential because I will get that from my audience.
Question without Answer yet!!!
How to put words around the apple?
I thought use magazines playing with typefaces as a Rompe huesos, but more interesting and use physical objects.
Process 2
Use an apple and paint a portrait of this fruit. Actually, use the process of decomposition of the apple and painting in a different canvas that will be explain this process that the apple going through.
Materials:
Canvas
Acrylics
Time
Passion
Music
Data
Another IDEA on the IDEA
When the painting are done go and ask people about their perceptions of meaning of the apple. According, their idea put elements around the apple.
Process 3
Stick with my mock up and make an apple based of the data. The data will make a a beautiful shape that symbolize the people believe. Sound really utopian!!!
Now, I feel so much better about my ideas!!! good ideas and good day!!!!
