This is a first prototype of an ironically commercial piece of conceptual sculpture ill be making and installing in a space.

I'm currently writing an essay for own sake surrounding and containing this series that i will put up on here but for now, basically, its a series of practical commercial containers physically re labelled with different ideologies, with changing its contents and in discussing contents meaning.

Also from the previous post, a look at entitlement of artist work, language.

Soon updating, Rob.

Update: The next unintentional mark making sculpture

After using the steel chimney as a relatively sized for interview and reflective experimental example of my idea, the next step is to make another on a larger scale that's visceral and aesthetic enough to hold a viewer to reflect on it.

Extracting marks from the sculpture

Inscribe pastel, A4 21 x 29.4cm

Just a reminder of the sculpture

I did three quick pen drawings of the marks as unfinished to match the unfinished essence of the metal itself

Scans of destructed sculpture

The sculpture pressed directly onto a scanner, a detailed and hazed look into marks made on and into it.

Going on now to do automatistic pen drawings and print directly onto paper.

The artistically unintentional sculpture

I went to a warehouse to find a brand part/piece of metal to put through a destructive process.

I picked this distinctive silver chimney part.

It had been hammered and flattened, the marks made turned out how i wanted, jagged and offset.

I will progress by drawing and making marks using the sculpture, drawings directly from the sculpture and using the sculpture as a piece by itself with work in its space.

Quick update: Artistically unintentional Sculpture and Marks

Im going to go to where my dad works to find and make sculptures by putting fresh pieces of raw metal/material through the destructive process of a scrapyard.

I will then use this battered raw material/s as sculptural peices and make work from on paper maybe printing or drawings with them.

Updates soon
