DEGREE SHOW

' Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer to shape it '

                                  Bertlott  Brecht (Theatre practitioner)

MFA SHOW PROPOSAL 

Deconstruction is a proof that the energy buried deep inside the parts is not lost even when the are disposed. Instead, this remains in the form of a potential, 

waiting for the for the right moment to transform itself once again, into a different, more perceptible form, 

Extract from stelios Manganis artist statement, 2013

My proposal for the MFA show, I will be creating a sculptural piece using found and discarded objects also objects that I collected from the River Thames. These  objects will attached to metal framed trolley  using a variety of strings, fishing wires, elastic bands, metal wires.

Around 300 objects has been  attached to the metal frame.

MATERIALS/ OBJECTS: £00.00

MATERIALS/ FISHING WIRES  £00.00 

TIME LINE

CHALLENGES  

Due to the current situation  I was unable to attend college, which affected my preparation 

for the MFA degree show. 

  • ​No access to workshops, before the college had to close, I made 

  • arrangements with college technicians to make a metal frame for my 

  • sculptural piece. 

  • No access to my objects needed for my sculptural piece.

  • No extra funds availabe to buy materials for show.

  • No access to studio space at home.

Fortunately for me I had not brought in to college all the materials I  was going

to use the sculptural piece. I was able to source my material from home and my outside environment. 

The themes I will be covering in this work will be  storytelling, fragility and 

the Throw - away society.

household objects in her works and tries to liberate them from 

their functional l context and apply other connotations and meaning to them. linguistic and didactic processes are central 

features of her work.
