A CRISIS: Loss of Direction

I have come to a stop in my tracks with regards to what the make. After experimenting with tarmac and resin I believe that I have found a practical method for producing sculptures using this material. However I have this desire to make yet no idea what forms to produce. There is an amounting pressure regarding time as I know that in order to start such sculptures I will need enough time to get it all done before I am not allowed to use the workshop facilities.

In these notes I am trying to know what to make first. Wether the sculptures should come before the objects or the objects before the sculptures. To me, it is the colour I would conceal these objects in that is more important than the objects themselves- however by way of picking any kind of object I run the risk of confusing what the work is really about. I think that maybe it is best to make the forms first and figure out the objects after if in the end I decide they are still needed.

Baby Tarmac

I spent a good few hours painting this baby carrier, at first I thought it would be a really absurd and disturbing addition to the space. However I was prompted of all the things that a baby carrier could suggest, such as fertility, abandonment or motherhood. Although I am more fixated on the colour, I do not want this imagery to be presented to others. Upon reflection I also realise that the baby carrier would take up a substantial amount of space- I have intentions to produce quite a number or small and large scale tarmac sculptures and I dont want the space to seem cluttered. One thing I do like about the tarmac interacting with this object is the fact that it personifies the tarmac.
