As a way of using the '175 words' collected from people in and around the art school, myself and Camilla have decided to collaborate and create a paper weave. We first trialed this on a small A2 scale, cutting strips of bright pink paper (to represent the colour of the logo in the new art school design), photographs that i edited (from the previous post), the written words collected in the art school, and some of the words typed up on thin strips, we weaved this all together - entwining the aspects of the art school together. we also added small mirrors once weaved, we did this to represent not only the outer structure of the new art building, but we as students are often asked to reflect on ourselves and our work.
We intend to develop this on a larger scale - also add wire to make movement in the piece - to represent the struggle people had to come up with just one word to represent their thoughts on the new art building.
Later that day I trialed the weave again at home, this time i made it looser - pulling parts up to make it move, I also used papers with more colour which i don't think looked as successful as the previous trail.
We also need to think about how to make the weave secure- we don't want to pick it up and it fall apart, if we also use wire we need to think about what kind of wire will be strong enough and what colour.
