I have been playing around with threading string through this roll of found chicken wire in different ways. I like the loose randomness of the bottom picture as the top two feel to planed and restricted.

After the assessment....
Notes:
- Potential for action
- Movement held in each element of installation
- Artists from Ian - Graeme Cornwell, Cullum More, Giacommetti and Joseph Beuys
- Mediation of space
- Needed a bigger space to install in - commented on that the objects felt a little squeezed in/to close together
- Dynamic even though they are held static
- Opposites in the found and the small changes with the clay - became a hard and soft dynamic/ solid and visible fingerprints (painterly quality). Structured/organic.
- The clay form hanging on the rope has a direct relationship to the found piece of wood on the floor.
- I cornered off a space and sort of mediated the viewers placement in space through how I went about laying out the installation, the way things related to each other and where abouts things were situated in the space.
- The blue and the orange string were choices based on personal aesthetic
- Wire and string - holds most movement, eyes follow rope, depth, simplicity, avoids gravity.
- Materials bought out of their usual contexts.
