11. Implications and applications

Research & Concept

Trust your creativity

Business model with Laetitia Thomas

How could you be storytellers, empower yourself?

  • 1 - Focus on a specific problem how to create?

    how to produce?

    how to be an artist?

    what's the story?

    what's broken?

    how you see the world?

  • 2 - Write open-ended questions

  • 3 - Questions need to be simple

7 R wheel : Rethink, Reduce, Replace, Reuse, Repair, Recycle, Regenerate.

rethink

First, what is your objective, what you want to solve. Then, application and choosing material and techniques.
I get back at the first documentation page, where we had to present ourselves and consider the fact it was very difficult for me to present myself. Now it would be the time to rethink this to express myself better.

I had very hard times working with everybody at the same time on the same online document. It was totally hurting to at the same time open up to everybody and think about the concept and developpement of our early ideas.

References & Inspiration

Sophie Calle

For the autoportrait and imagery inspiration, I am keen on the work Sophie Calle is deploying from her own life, whether in benign everyday events or in great achievements.

Why, What, Who, When, Where?

Extract myself from the thought of applied design to move towards a production that is no longer subject to use but responds to a concept.
I don't throw away anything from my life, I keep everything. What to do with all this? Reuse, destroy? How to part with it.

The palimpsest

M'extraire de la pensée du design appliqué pour aller vers une production qui n'est plus soumise à un usage mais répond à un concept.
Je ne jette rien de ma vie, je garde tout. Que faire de tout ça ? Réutiliser, détruire ? Comment s'en séparer.

Le palimpseste.


Notes

I like image. How do I come to it ?

How do I make it ?

How do I unmake and remake it ?

J'aime l'image, comment j'y viens ?

Comment je la fabrique ?

Comment je la décompose et la recompose ?

What would be the link with textile ? Do I produce something or a representation of something ?

Layers Couches


Discussion group with Pauline

THE DISCUSSION
contemplation, sublimation
- study the artists creative process, what brings them to this production?
- what do I want to express, look for the concepts that drive me and put them in the eyes of others
- asking and answering questions: fear of being too free
=> use the 3 months to solve this question
- is biomaterial ephemeral?
VS
- inscribe the work in time from the artist's point of view
=> what's left? The trace of the work
- idea takes precedence over material (land art) very conceptual
study this process and at the end of the 3 months say I am an artist.
- Humor is part of the artistic process
not wanting to be too down to earth, let the viewer search for answers, make connections - surface building => build mine based on that.
Accumulations, layers. I don't throw anything. What to do with these clusters?
- Raw expression (dance)
- what inspires me artistically
- yes I'm scared
=> so take advantage of these 3 months.
