Kulturgeist
Some images of the first stages of construction of my battle jacket. The patches are all custom designed and woven. Some feature images based on some of my previous artworks, and others are new designs.
Through the process of
making my own battle jacket I am re-connecting in a new way with physical
materials and realising the importance of this to me as an artist. In a sense
this involves working backwards from the painting – taking the object out of the painting by actually making
it.
By removing (through
actually making) the object, perhaps this releases the painting process from
the function of description and allows it to do other things (e.g. symbolise
more directly, communicate through materials and construction, play with
abstract form etc.)….
