kaths group – Aisha Beya

Introduction to 3D

To start off this part of the rotation, Kath gave the group a task to make an object that was non-functioning. As freeing as we want.

I decided to use three main objects and work around the jar to make the piece.

Then the next task was to make an object but with a function, it could be whatever I want. It still had to remain the element of random.

Honestly don’t know what the function of the object could be.

Gracia Lam

So for the main piece for this part of the project, I wanted to develop a piece from Gracia that I really enjoyed. Her work aims to reinvent mundane objects and turn them into somewhat of a fantasy. The piece was based on the her commissioned work for the “New York Times” and it was a piece about sanctuary spas in Tucson, Arizona.

Before the making of this object, Kath gave feedback on the two previous pieces and she suggested that I could focus on bottles & to be more specific “potion bottles”. Therefore, I went for trying to cover the bottle to make the outer more “fantasy-like”. Which goes hand in hand with Gracia Lam’s thought process of turning a mundane object into art.

Reinvention Of A 3D Object

The final part of Psychogeography was Kath’s part. Which the brief was to take a 3D object that I have and write about the process of creating that object.

I decided to do my piece about my keys. At first it was between the keys and a necklace that I recently bought. It made sense to create and write about my keys because theres history with my keys.

This was my writing piece for the before section of my object

PHYSICAL RESPONSE

For my physical response, I didn’t know how to go about it. First, I went with trying to make a 3d key using paper. Trying to make somewhat of a key net. After that I went on to make some designs that I wanted on my key to differentiate them. I decided that I wanted to make some clay keys because that would be the closest to actually making 3d models.
