Deliberation of Patterns

Pattern  # 12
Pattern  # 13
Pattern  # 14


 The natural world surrounds an immeasurable variety of patterns and understanding patterns of events and forms in order to embody them in design and for them to have a good observation of the many forms in nature. For me one of the ways, which I learn from nature, is through the understating of patterns and forms, which crated by simple physical laws, as an able to de-code any equation’s code in any sort of science.  I reached these patterns of liquid’s mould, by repeating in various ways, using the scanner and work on it in Photoshop. 

Beauty of Decay Process

Process  # 6
When I put these leaves on the flat bed of my scanner,this geometric brown decay decompose, which complex network of lines present in this work an illusion to the vascular tissue of plants, as well as the vascular system of the human body. It forces me to think about how this natural process works. What it wants to tell us? What is connection in this pattern network in universe? What I have to do as an artist?

Research,Marina Abramovic & W. Schels & B...





In In my research I looked in to my subject, life and death in many forms of art by many artist. This time my attention is in the performance art because in my point of view, Performance becomes life and life becomes art and has taken many different forms. Marina Abramovic has pioneered the use of performance as a visual form and the body has been both her subject and medium.  The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic, is a once in a generation cultural event and a biography of the godmother of performance art, re imagined by visionary director Robert Wilson.  Thinking about life, Death & art help me with the question of each of them about how the social, cultural, religions, economy and even political effects in creativity by emotion and how emotion influences various aspects of the process… and how each type of emotional response to them. In the history of art,“Performance Art” got its start in1960 in America. With that form, performance artists saw the movement as a means of taking their art directly to a public form.  It is alive, has no rules and experimental and artist always strived to use the body as a tool for making their art. The process of decay is like performance art; it grows, and the moulds slowly take over. The performance of its growth is with the sound of its own special music, which grows due to the sound wave frequency, in which we are not able to hear, and is very slow.

Still Life # 6





For my Studio Practices project I decided to continue with the theme of decay.  I looked at processing of decay. Here are some images I used as inspiration for the project but in still life style.  This to me, this experiment relates to my research on performance art. The mould is slowly increasing in various directions, like as if it was doing by a sound wave frequency in performance art. If these images were put on large scale, it would look like a planet in space. I would like to have put this on large scale to show the effects and motion I was feeling. 


Research, Merging Art & Science




 According to experts merging Science & Art focuses on biology inspired art, an ancient art form. An early 20th century instance, Picasso’s “Standing Female Nude in 1910 was inspired by the power of X rays to glimpse beyond inspiration was X ray photographs taken to diagnose the illness of Picasso’s mistress, Fernando Oliver.  Superposed on a background of planes, her body lies open to reveal pelvic hip bones made up of geometrical shapes: forms reduced to geometry, the aesthetic of Cubism inspired by modern science.










These days some of the most innovative artists are merging art and science to create bran new art movement inspired by science.The contemporary gallery GV Art explores and acknowledges the inter-relationship between art and science, and how the areas cross over and inform one another. GV Art’s latest exhibition brings together ‘polymath’ works that create synergies and connect disparate ideas and different schools of thoughts. From Susan Aldworth to David Marron’s Nervous Tissue installation.








Susan Aldworth HEARTBEAT 1&2




















  David  Marron Nervous Tissue                                         David Marron Life & Death



What is death? In some senses, that is they key question that runs through the work of contemporary artist David Marron.  His art is about the visual interpretation of a fundamental human condition, that of being between life and death, positioned between the actual objects that surround the body, and their symbolic meaning that survive it.

Still Life # 9







My digital scans of coconut offer me taken the tradition of still life and nature studies, which is a type of symbolic work of art especially associated with Northen European still life in Flanders & the Netherlands in the 16th & 17th centuries thought loosely translated corresponds to the meaninglessness of earthly life & the transient nature of vanity. I taken these images with my flatbed scanner, rather than with a camera, and their creation avoid any lens based processes. In one hand my works embody a more direct relationship between the object represented ant the support on which the image lies and places them closer to prints or photograms than to photographs also allows for transferred of a great amount of detail with a creating a delicate texture and optimism that give emphasis to the coconut’s decay as a natural beauty.  This process gives me  a insight of relationship between science and art.

Natur's Cycles

5.50pm Hatfield at bus station near my uni

4.50pm In my area


 It was believed in some cultures that worshiped the sun. The Aztecs believed that the sun was eaten by a God each night, and recreated each morning. So that the God was pleased and allowed the sun to shine upon the Earth again, they also thought that by sacrificing they could please the God, in fright of there being no more sun.  They therefore saw the sun rising each morning as a new birth, and the sun setting as its death. It also symbolizes good light and evil darkness; knowledge light and ignorance darkness; creation light and destruction darkness; a beginning light and the end darkness.

In belief of that, sunrise and sunset represent birth (life) and death. The colors especially support this philosophy. With sunrise being bright, alert and full of good emotions. Where as to comparison with them in sunset, the colours get darker, stronger, and give off and danger emotion but this can also be seen as calm or romantic and opposite of sunrise. This puts a line between the two making them seem so different.

 To me its interesting for these individuals that have no line, putting a difference between sun rise life and sun set death, because I see their start colours to be the same tone and their only difference to be the ending which is a start of another one except emotion it gives up.

In my practice I took photographs of sunrise and sun set.   Throughout this, I had learnt that there is no difference between sunset and sunrise; it was just the after effects that were different. This gave me an insight on how life and death is also in this cycle, with sunrise as birth and sunset and death, they also have the similar after effects, which is the only thing that makes them different and how power of science with technology can affect the tradition cultures.

Decay under Ice pattern

Ice Pattern  # 1
Ice Pattern  # 2
Ice Pattern  # 3

I was going out with my daughter and had spotted this and had to take a photo of this on my mobile, as it was the only camera with me at the time. This type of technology has helped me a lot as I don’t always have my camera with me I always keep my eye out for things that are related to my subject. I found this pattern very interesting, as it was different because it had a pattern of decay under it. I liked this, as it was another forms of showing decay like the ink experiment I done. This enabled me to widen my experiential research with life and death and how art, science and geography have a connection.  

Decay in our invironment


Green Algae


Water Algae

Green Algae Bloom



While I was in London, visiting a gallery, I had lost my way. I tried to find my way and get directions but I couldn’t. I got tired so I just rested. This pond had caught the side of my eye while I was resting; it looked very intriguing so I took a picture with my mobile. I think that this relates to my theme as its like death, slowly taking over life same element that but I admire that it could be ecstatic of something worse in our environment; as wee can see how big the algae is, and can tell that art the start it wasn’t that big and had growed. It has developed and will keep on changing and increasing in size. I loved the patterns and I immediately knew it was perfect; it fit exactly with the theme and have the same element of life and death. It was something that harmful to nature, but it also had a beauty that was part of nature.

Alga blooms may occur in fresh water as well as marine environments.  Typically only one or a few phytoplankton species are involved & same blooms may be recognized by discoloration of the water resulting from the high density of pigmented cells.

Powerful Pigment of Rust

Pigment # 1
This image, sums up my vision and has  developed my theme's process. Those of you that have followed my blog project thus  will know that in previous's posts,  I have been inspired from the aesthetic qualities in quantity of objects in decay.
I took this image while I was on holiday. This immediatly caughht my eye and I saw the connection that it had with my work. This image of rust, made me look for artist that have experimented with rust , thus rust is a powerful pigment, with its vivid hues of red and orange that it lends to all sorts of metals, whether desired or not. I was eager to see how they showed rust in the art  world.



Tony Reason British artist must see a great magnificence in rust, for tha reason that he has made it the center of much of his work; gaint metal panels with rust designs and even rust mixed with wax and painte on canvas. Also seems move away from the smooth surface that and we can see the rust in all its colourful wonder.



This has fantastic texture and the colours are outstanding.  The artist had created a wonderful collage of rust and imputing their filings and vision in this piece of work.










This Beautiful contemporary architecture is the facade of a car park in the Saint-Roch neighborhood of Quebec City, Canada. As time passes, the more we appreciate the urban architecture, which surprised many of us when it first appeared. That overlaps the green waves of rust on the front and on the roof, in fact definitely an urban setting out standards and also very successful just          like this facade…

Research,Damien Hirst





  
Hirst takes a direct and challenging approach to ideas about existence as he said: “What I try & do is not take the nice things too seriously & then you can avoid the bad things.”

Since the late 1980’s, Damien Hirst has used a various practice of drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation to explore the complex relationship life and death, art. Elucidation: “ Art’s about life and it can’t really be about anything else … there isn’t anything else.” Damien Hirst work challenges and investigates contemporary belief systems, and examine the tension and uncertainties at the heart of human experience.
