We were asked to continue our ideas in a conceptual project,I decided to look at what worked and what didn’t work from the 3D project.Some things that were mentioned during the crits were to look more at weight.So I decided to focus on issues that can weigh on the mind and how it can effect the mind and body by continueing to use bricks.

I felt that it was important to document the making process as there was something interesting and therapeutic not only with the wrapping and binding process but to watch it too.

I decided that it was important to use somebody who wasn’t me as the model as I was worried that it would be hard to communicate my ideas esactly how I wanted them.

I also left the half circle of bricks around the model after I had created the headpiece.It looked aesthetically pleasing and yet it had some kind of ritualistic feel to it.I suppose a ritual is something that we do over and over again and carrying our mental weight is something most of us do day in day out before that ritual is broken with whatever helps or heals it.

I felt that this development was really sucessful and created some strong images.My favourite being the head piece.It didn’t turn out how I has imagined in my minds eye but better infact.I love the surreal quality to it and how the voile interweaves with each other.I think it has the feel of a painting about the image.

Another thing I would like to continue to develop is the facepaint.As I felt that it was sucessful but I didn’t take it any further.
