II. All materials can be used in installation art, the greatest thing about is that there are no limits.
III. One would make installation art for the same reasons they would partake in any form of art; to expression oneself, to share and idea, a creation or an opinion, to send a message, or just because.
IV. By far my most favorite installation since before this class is Yayoi Kusamas' Fireflies on the Water. I absolutely love what she has done. The idea of being able to leave the world behind and enter a new one that is completely out of our natural element is amazing. Its serves a paradox as being a small room defined by infinity. I love the concept of it and its aesthetics.
Step IV: Plan
I. There isn't one specific piece I felt a connection with per se besides Fireflies on the water, I took in every piece as they were.
II. The theme I'd like to use for my installation is a cross of self and what I would think to be consumerism.
III. The materials I will use are my most valued "materialistic items" such as shoes from my sneaker collection, my favorite boxing gloves, my beats headphones for my obsession with music, a Yankee cap to show my love for my home, and sock monkeys that hold meanings of their own.
IV. My installation will be located in my apartment at school, in an open space where I spend most of my time.
My installation is a compilation of some of my most prized possessions. It represents my love and hobby for my shoe collection. Each shoe presented has a story linked to it. There's always something that has happened when I've worn any of them, some good memories, some bad. The elements and principles used were color by the varying colors in each shoe, shape by the different sizes and styles of each shoe, texture; some shoes have patent leather, some have a tweed material, others are basic materials. There's pattern as in those of the 12's (photo 7).
I had fun creating this. Took me some time to figure out what to use but once I did everything else came easy. I love my sneakers and to be able to incorporate them in an art project is pretty awesome. I hoped to photograph my precious Blue Nose Pit Brooklyn in the photos but being that she's been misbehaving and on punishment I couldn't but hopefully I will be able to for future projects. The planning and creation of the site was pretty cool. I was going to do it outside but it has been raining badly so that wasn't an option. However I used my second favorite space in the apartment to take the photo's and create the installation.
