Verisimilitude; Week 2 “Developed Assemblages”

PDF 📄

Using our initial experiments and new research, we were tasked to develop some new assemblages. Below are some of my developments.

Exploring the idea of tension and piercing this time in a site-specific way

My brush experiment looked a little like flowers among grass so I combined the literal and imaginative to put the beads among real grass and the real flowers among the bristles

I really liked Spoerri’s works and so I captured the ‘ready-made’ assemblage of the sink after family of 5’s dinner.

While Spoerri tends to capture from above, I liked the height achieved by stacking and wanted to capture this too.

Saar’s assemblages lead me to assemble various ‘relics’ of the same colour to make an assemblage of childhood toys.

Zoomed out, the context is more thorough but I think it works best as a close up.

Inspired by my colour grouping above, I took soted pens and pencils into a mug by colour. I gave it a rattle to see how much they would rearrange and they stayed fairly close to their original placement. With more time I would have found even more pens and filled the mug more compactly.

Unfortunately my partner and I had a stomach bug over the weekend and we weren’t able to commit as much time to these developments as we’d hoped, but I think the process was successful.

Adrian, the string into the carpet is intriguing. what would happen if it spread throughout the house. Some kind of rhizomic growth or web . the decision to nail into the carpet was a curious one. : )
