last few weeks of viscom and 3d spacial

One of the things i have learned over the past 4 weeks is that Regina Spektor is really good to listen to when your doing work! Speaking of music i have actually discovered some crazily amazing musicians recently including beirut, anthony and the Thompsons, the tallest man alive. they are all really chilled out and kind of inspiring kind thing so you should listen to them!

Anyway, talking of art and stuff, one of the main things I have discovered this week in 3D spacial is that i have done more work and really got stuck in to this rotation much more than i expected. About two weeks go i was convinced i was going to specialise in vis com but now I'm utterly in a muddle and can not decide!

One of the reasons i like 3D spacial so much is that you never know what the final outcome will be and you sort of discover things as you make them. I was sooooo inspired by the lecture with Dominic Wilcox this week i thought it was amazing and loved how he just made things without too much thinking which is what i think drove me this week to make my final 3d models for the crit. I ended up spending hours cutting up parts of coke cans to make this kind of shell like object that could fold up and around its self to form a little container. I also made this 'headrest' out of thin plastic rods and the result totally surprised me and ended up looking like quite a decent hair piece type thing instead of its original function that i thought of.

anyway i think i definitely deserve my trip home this week end as i have worked my ass off.
Oh and just incase your into your music check out my poster at college its in the corridor running up to the fine art studio, it has all the details on but just encase you haven't spied it, it basically is an advertisement for a folk musician that I'm looking to play music with, maybe write some stuff do open mikes that kinda thing, so yer check it out.
