Found Object (New Direction)
I've taken apart and packed up the compiled collection of objects which had produced the images for "Young, Single, and Pregnant" and am now headed in a new direction. This direction is based upon the collaboration of a couple smaller parts of "Young, Single, and Pregnant". These parts consist of a pink wax candle, an intricate test tube, and a bit of red wax. Although these are parts different from more overall original set up they will still hold the same theme. I will be making somewhat of a replica with re-creations of the mentioned parts fastened together. Rather than a transparent glass tubing I will be making an object similar in form, consisting of concrete form tubes, chicken wire, something to connect them together and probably plaster for contour. I will also be making a larger version of the wax candle. If there were more time I would like to sculpt a wax figure of fertility out of bronze and then mold it into the base of the candle so that it would slowly become revealed upon the melting of the wax. Also I'd like to possibly place a portable DVD player inside the hollow tubing, featuring and film about teen pregnancy or just birth. In order to do that I would have to find my long since missing portable DVD charger. Surrounding the DVD player would be soft fabric of warm hues, again creating a womb-like state. To see the video one would have to crawl to the ground, but I believe propping a mirror on an angle in front of the tubing opening so that the DVD player screen will project the image upward and provoke viewer to come down to the proper level of viewing. If I can rig speakers up the other run offs on the tubing it would help spread the sound. Finally reaching this idea with but a week left I highly doubt all these sub-interests can be achieved. The main thing is that I get the tubing and flower down, the fertility figure, and DVD will only act as supportive additives if I am able to manage it into the available time left. Images of the model object are presented on my webshots page under the Found Object album.
