There are only about 4 weeks to deadline now so with all promotional materials done I feel it is time to make final decisions on outcomes for this brief.
I have a large piece of glass to smash and the concept of this ties in with John Locke's view that we are all born as a blank sheet without marks on us and that it is only our environment and influences that make us who we are, how we are nurtured. My glass sheet is a metaphorical blank sheet and the smashing of it makes me take on the role of the influencer. I make the marks on the glass but I do not have total control of how the glass will react. This is were the nature of the glass takes on a greater role.
I will use this sheet of glass as a plate for printing and the concept of this stems from Oscar Wilde's comments in Dorian Gray as the reaction to influence. The plate being the influencer and the print an image taken from the influencer and so being the influenced. Mirroring the influencer and so playing a part not written for them and so loosing something of the natural self. To influence someone is to give away part of yourself to be influenced by another is to lose part of yourself to become an imprint of another.
I am also still working with the 3D forms from my last post want the to become moveable objects with the viewer and manipulate and influence. I should have any loose ends tied up by this week.
