As per usual, I again changed my image; I have a tendency
to not do the same things the same way twice. Mostly because it is boring for
me. I like challenges in general. I must push myself to learn to become a fully
rounded artist. This week we used a new program called Rhino 6, it was an interesting learning curve.
This piece has really got me thinking of my over all practice and the reasons I
create things. I always aim to create though provoking things, and many times
with a political message. As we know this piece represents the unnecessary
capture of Orca’s and the short lives they live within captivity.
Third time is a charm perhaps. I decided to do less people
on this one and have them staggered, perhaps a morbid thought for me to have to
wish that the tourist numbers to these parks dwindle out. The orca’s I made
bigger to make the cup look even smaller, that there is truly no room for them
to live a comfortable life. I chose to do many things in this piece in a
metallic feel, I find the reflective surfaces of metal to be fascinating and
also to represent the hardnosed corporate monsters. Perhaps a feeling of
disgust washes over others when they look at my pieces. Reality isn’t pretty. I
chose a reflective surface instead of a bold shadow because the within the
confines of the orca’s prison they see human faces and then their own. Reminded
that they are unable escape, and must continue to do tricks for food. The
people are staggered some in odd positions to show the naivety or drunkenness
of society. Ignorance is not bliss it is a false sense of bliss, ignorance is
ignoring the truth. These people are the ones being sucked into the corporate
vacuum.
Changing the colour slightly, materials used and size gives
my render an air of creepy realistic surrealism. I hope to change minds,
provoke thoughts and encourage others to do their research.
