Creative enquiry - Proposal. Development of Creative Enquiry

My main aims for creative enquiry is to engage in a practice that furthers the development of my making project concept.

Large scale works that focus fully on being the embodiment of documentation, ritual and repetition. These works should be the visual depiction of time passing and their framework will be a set of rules and rituals set by me. The process is the centre focus of the making, and dedication to my process will be documented clearly to really give the sense of scale, time etc. The end project of each will take the form of a sculptural instillation.

There will be room for experimentation within material choice, drawing mediums and scale. Contextually, there is a never ending number of rules and rituals that can inform the work.

There is possibility to translate this into multiple mediums, but for my start point I am going to experiment with a larger scale and new drawing material. I am interested the ides of a production line and the repetition that comes with this, there is also this nod to craft. So in doing so I will enlist mediums such as wood / plaster / industrial DIY to create ‘displays’ for my drawings.

Theoretically, I will consult the books noted below to begin:

Documents of Contemporary Art, The everyday, Stephen Johnstone, 2008.

Documents of Contemporary Art, documentation, Julian Stallabrass, 2013.

On repetition, writing, performance and art, Eirini Kartsaki, 2016.

John Berger, ways of seeing, 2008.

Podcasts to consult:

Sculpting Lives, Jo Baring and Sarah Turner, 2020-2021.

Great Women artists, Katy Hessel, 2019-2022.

Artists to research:

Phyllida Barlow

Eva Hesse

Richard Serra

Overall, my aim is to create a body of work that develops the notion of ritual, into multiple forms and individual experiments. There is a degree of unpredictability, although juxtaposed to this is complete predicability as an process aim. These works will also soon develop into their own anthropological state of being once complete, as I spend time with the process it often does.

Key words to consider:

Predictably.

Scale.

Production.

Choice.

Repetition.

The subconscious.

Rules.
