Final Outcome

This project was to investigate how an artistic tool could become the artwork through deconstruction and reconstruction. These final photographs were exploring the kind of movement that could be achieved by the handling of paintbrush fragments. I think they capture the beauty in chaos and demonstrate the progression of disorder to calm, and that this journey is often as powerful as a finished piece.

Removing the Function

This week, I continued to play with the idea of deconstruction and started making collages made up of different paintbrushes. I’ve also began doing some continuous line drawings of each layout I arranged which give me ideas from the different shapes I see within the drawings. While holding the pieces of paintbrush in my hands, I noticed the satisfying sound they made when shaken so I’d like to see what I could do with that sound, maybe creating a video with that as the audio.

 

Paintbrush Experiments

I’ve decided on a paintbrush as my found object as I’d like to explore the possibility of  making the ‘tool’ the artwork rather than just a painting utensil. I began deconstructing a paintbrush in the most literal sense I could think of by sawing it into small pieces and reassembling it in different patterns.
