Frenchy and Janine Antoni

I love the Frenchy's use of color and rhythm in his work. He creates a very alive sensation in his art work and I wish for my project to have this very same feeling. The feeling that fear is alive and stretching out in its own pattern is what my "extra material" will represent.


Janine Antoni's Saddle sculpture conveys much mystery and has an eerie sense to it. Yet the way the folds clump together at the ends has a very attractive appearance too. I liked her work with cloth and the vague message it sends. I wish to use this same mysterious quality in my project.

Beginning Project

For my fear project, I want to use long sheets of cardboard with vertical indents as my background to give the look of a very elongated cage. The feeling of fear to me appears very stretched and surrounded by the sense of not being able to escape. I plan to work on a ceiling to provide different values of light to draw in my main focus. My one object will be a vivid orange cloth, which will appear to be hanging mysteriously. This cloth will represent how fear can be sculpted by whatever your imagination creates out of it. My ultimate goal is to represent the concept that fear itself can take the form of any matter or subject.

Fear of Becoming Deaf

I agree with Andres Moguel's blog about his fear of losing his hearing. As visual of a person I am, I believe that hearing ignites the colors in my head as well as much of the curiosity and joy that follows as its shadow. Through singing voices, different instruments, fluctuating pitch in conversation, creaking crickets, and even shuffling through silverware drawers, it is as if there is a direct connection between color and sound. In the picture, the artist provides different types of people with hearing issues and the different perspectives you can assume they have. It allows your imagination to think of their losses and the things they will never know they missed out on. It is fear in losing a way of experiencing life.

Fear

I have a great fear of the unknown. Spirits, ghosts, demons, possession, or anything that is not tangible and not visible.

I fear the dark and the infinite potential of my own imagination. I fear my own mind and fear itself.

I have severe stage freight. I fear a crowd of swarming eyes that can stab you even from a great distance. I fear the attention and the pressure.

So, about me

I'm Rebecca. One of my favorite works by Dali would be "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening." I really enjoy his use of imagery and symbolism throughout every one of his works. Anyways, I really am looking forward to this class and learning to incorporate technology and different mediums into my own art!
