Development from other members part of the group for the offsite show- ‘The conscious realm of the unconscious’

This is how our development of our work is currently developing

Lisa’s work:- My work is about the idea of the external world and the internal world of dreams documenting the blank space of time between conscious waking thought to the unconscious realm of dreams presenting this as a box the outside of the box represents reality and the inside of the box represents the internal world.

Here are some current developments of her work- ‘The box will affect all the senses as what we sense whilst we are asleep affect the context of the dream the box will be like a sensory box’.

My work is about:- ‘My work is focusing on my mental health condition that is epilepsy. I have used the idea of the unconscious and conscious mindset to show what happens before and after I have an epileptic fit. I have used handwritten poems (which I wrote), curtain pieces, permanent marker pens to represent my feelings and emotions I face when the strike of an epileptic fit hits’.

Here are some developments of my current pieces 

Alisha:- ‘Alisha’s work will be a small selection of emotionally charged graphite drawings, which aim to draw focus to her experience of mental illness, and re-purpose it for representation within the context of a dream or nightmare. The nature of this will sit within discomfort and satisfaction, which often exists within darker works. These drawings will create a dark fantasy world, which will take the human form as the centre, and create context by distorting nature, shadows, the body, and making references to myth, literature, and film in order to convey their message.’

Alex’s work is about

Alex’s piece will be a ceramic sculpture based on the idea that her mind is capable of growing its own creations. The sculpture will be fitted into a plant pot, containing sculptures of skulls, bones, and nature themed pieces, such as body parts wrapped in ivy. She will also create smaller sculptures which focus on mismatching patterns, colours and shapes. Adding emphasis on things which do not fit together, adding sense of humour by using her own colour mixes, which she will name after the commercial names of the paints i.e. red being called sticky fingers and the blue being blue lagoon so a piece of work being named sticky lagoon.
