a new horizon...for me

we are currently doing our final project, which the previous tutorials has made me a feeling worser and worser throughout the day...

perhaps i should re-introduce my project..
its a gallery for our client, specifically a body art painter, a multi-talented artist from Czech*...
if i'm not mistaken...
but the gorgeous thing about him is that...he's one of the top student from the Beaux Arts Academy in Paris...
well...ppl who study history & culture 2 probably know what that means...
he designs patterns...and try his patterning in different mediums and techniques

oil on canvas, tapestry (cloth weaving), silk print, etching, woodcut, installation etc..
of course...body painting la...

then..its a continuous project...from the very 1st project throughout the semester till the final project...
we have researched based on our artist...and to fit in his/ her features in our designs...
meaning to say that whatever we have designed...its specifically meant for our individual artists only...in a very specific category...

these are some of his works...

Danse 1

Glass Sculpture
Light 1


Silk Screen Print
Pop Square 1


Tapestry
Voyage

for the body painting part...it turned out kinda unacceptable for me at the beginning coz its preconceived in me...
and the thing is that...the artist actually painted all of these women nude...naked...
which is at a higher level compared to the Asia regions' way of approach...
they normally paint on tight outfit in skin colour...
so...it takes time for me to understand it...

sometimes...his artworks goes kinda sexy and extreme...

here's how the fun part goes...
we are assigned to interpret the artists works and to design a circulatory flow for the gallery after we have visited the galleries around the town

and the objective is..to have something not what they are having in the town
plain walls + nails + planes of art pieces hung up...

and ms. Diana 'suggested' us to browse through the net and books especially to get ideas on the design of our gallery...

i ended up searching clueless...grab simply anything i like...and try to apply the interesting elements into the gallery...after photocopying from books...prints from internet...

well...i kinda understand whats happened to me when mr.Zani kinda reminded me of myself...

he said :' i see something in you, but u ended up putting in everything and too afraid to make decisions.'

for more than 3 projects... i received the same comment " too much"

so...should i be happy now?
working on a simpler piece now...which is totally different from the very first moment designing the layout etc...

i dont know...
sometimes i feel like...there's nothing in my brain...
empty...
its different from empty..its just that...i have these images in me...
but i just cant get it aligned...and the whole design appeared in loose pieces...
get what i mean...

ppl are working on a straight line and develop into waves...
i have got the wave..but i spoilt it with waves of different wave lengths...
get what i mean..i just simpy dont know when and how to stop
pathetic huh?

p.s. tesstotoro feeling helpless
