I'm going to be honest, following on from creating a short animation video, I have become slightly stuck in which direction to take my work now. I have tried to develop on the idea of colour invading my sketchbook and thus the sketchbook becoming the actual work.

However, today I had an influential talk with my tutors. I feel like I have found a clear, exciting pathway where to take my work now, without losing my recurrent concept of colour invading spaces. At the moment I am finding it hard to materialize work as I have no real focus point to develop ideas from. I am perhaps trying to hard to make colour an essential part of my work and controlling the direction I go in too much. I need to become more experimental again, step back from the work and really let loose...

Previously I have found my work has developed successfully from an initial 3D piece. Therefore I have decided to think about creating a sculptural piece, which I can then develop ideas from. I have a great interest in constructivism and the utopia idea behind the proposals of Tatlin's Tower. I could possibly create my own utopia? With the use of fluorescent colour?

I have also been researching 'Luna Park', a sculpture by Heather and Ivan Morison. It was installed in Portsmouth in August 2010. It is a life-size model of an Ultrasaurus, a fictional dinosaur, that would have been the largest of the race. This was actually intended to be installed in Colchester Castle, but was burnt down after being up for 8 weeks. I like the idea that the piece reminds the public that fantasy is never far away. Although a dinosaur may not be a good example of a utopia, the idea of creating a perfect fantasy really excites me.

There were reports that the structure was burnt down by arsons, but also that there was an electric fault with the lights around the sculpture. The fact that the piece burnt down is what really intrigues me. This manmade dinosaur, of a steel frame with a polyester shell, suffered the same apocalyptic as dinosaurs did all that time ago when a fiery comet hit Earth. I am also really interested in form of the piece after it had been destroyed. The remaining structure following the fire would have been really interesting and allows for the chance of redevelopment. A new piece in itself?
