Send an additional element to the viewing of work online. With the limits of being able to view work online i hope to infiltrate the viewers home so that they can become more engaged and have a new experience of art. I want to challage the expectations of what sculpture is and the publics preconceptions of it.
At the very start of my practice and research i got friends and family to ‘DRAW THEMSELVES PICKING AN APPLE FROM A TREE’. I found this a very insightful activity. Some people spent 40 mins plus concentrating on this one drawing which otherwise they probably wouldn’t have done anything like that. I like the idea of encouraging people and providing them with a space they can be creative. It might be using wax crayons, something which majority of us used during our early school years.
Smell is a huge element of my current practice. the only soloution is to send a scratch and sniff card of the scent or get the viewer to smell a physical object that they already have.
IDEA 1: a package with card, crayons and an instruction note. this should be done during the viewing of 3 online images of ‘Delicious Orbuculum’
IDEA 2: a scratch and sniff card to be smelled whilst viewing.
IDEA 3: direction note to get an apple and eat it whilst viewing work.
