This morning I had a tutorial with one of my tutors specifically about my online blog. The talk made me really think about what my work means to me and how I work as I haven't really yet sat down and thought about myself in relation to my ideas and what I create. An essential question which arose was, 'Why do I work spontaneously?'. I think the reason I probably haven't thought about this question is because I have been unconsciously avoiding it.
Being spontaneous in the way I work allows me to be as expressive as possible and be playful with the materials I use. I think the reason I love to work in this way is because I am using my own process/es of construction. I have a large interest in the development of buildings, but this is more about what is achieved as oppose to how it is being done. Constructing something in a 3D way with no design plans, just ideas and influences, allows me to really interact with the materials I'm using and feel as if I am a part of the work. The materials I have used such as wood, metal and plastics are materials you would expect to find in a construction site, just perhaps not in such an extemporaneous way.
