Emma Kay 'Worldview'

Emma Kay uses her own memory to write down the history of the world in the above piece. There are spaces left out within it, which must be parts which she doesn't know or cant remember.
She does the same with the map of the world, which is interesting to me, as her memories of different countries/areas will most definitely influence how she remembers where all the countries fit.

Hanging Maps

I have decided to use these two maps, the one on the left has had major roads cut from it and the one on the right is of lancashire and yorkshire which is where I have lived since I moved to England from Saudi Arabia. I have cut out all the places of significance to me on this map. I am planning on projecting light through them to then look at what shapes the light produces on the wall behind.

Mark Bradford - Kryptonite

this piece looks like grids with a map of a city centre. he uses mixed media, which makes me think of using this idea to influence my work, by using the ephemera i have collected whilst travelling, tickets, maps, etc.

Maps

Couldnt post this image onto blogger so this is link to page. They made a map and a work of sound art called Journey Around My World. They captured their ideas, emotions and sensory experiences as they worked together.
You can use the map and the audio tracks below to trace their ideas and reactions as they encountered works of art at Tate Britain and mapped the geography of London and their lives. Interesting ways of looking at maps and incorporating audio of their thoughts alongside the pictures.

Felt Path

Experimenting using imovie. Relationship between travel/material.

'The Sonic Body' allows the viewer to interact with the installation, and enter a space in which to view it. I like the idea of having an area closed off, or creating a space where the viewer has to look inside, or get to in some way.

Lisa Kokin

She uses found objects and buttons and stitches them all together to create sculptures. The middle image looks like a map of stitched lines leading to different objects which interests me. 

Annette Messenger

She combined used stuffed toys with black and white pictures of body parts. She was interested in identity, and in the left picture there is an installation of stuffed animals with framed pieces of strange, small clothing above them.

Audio/Visual Installation

I saw this video of a man taking a picture of himself every day for 6 years, I found it interesting looking at the slight changes in him every day and the way he grew older over the months. I realise I dont have as long as that, so would maybe try to take a picture of a child everyday for a couple of months as childrens feature change more dramatically over a shorter length of time.
