Part 1: Clarifying Topic
For this project, I want my shrine to focus on the aspects of freedom and tranquility in life. I associate these two words together and find that I feel the freest when I am calm and relaxed. I want to portray this sense together in my shrine by creating a piece that is delicate, open, and has a softer feel. I think this can all be portrayed in many ways, possibly including broken locks, softer and squishier materials, lighter colors, and much more. My audience for this piece will be primarily myself. I often lose track of this freedom and relaxed feeling when I am at school and busy, so I want to incorporate personal items that relate to freedom and tranquility in my own life.
Part 3: Borrowing a Strategy
Peace Fountain, Greg Wyatt
I intend to utilize aspects of the base of this fountain, including rounded pieces of material that show a flow and make the piece feel smoother. I also enjoy the range of objects that exist in this piece spread throughout the entire fountain.
