Much like any of the other project titles for subject matter, 'the body' is as vague as the next. However, having been determined on my pursuit, now for Fine Art, I decided I should narrow down what areas of interest around the body I could focus on for my outcome(s). Also at this point, I was given the option to narrow down what media (and therefore workshops) I work with. My primary interests lay in sculpture and metal work, especially since they were easily inter-connected in terms of practice. I also settled with painting, due to my personal success with 'Colour & Harmony' as well as animation.
To provide a more definate basis for my project, I developed an idea for a sub-topic around the body to work with. To compliment the exploration of 'Form', the subject I focused on (as I entitled it) was around "Life, Death & Life Within Death". The idea behind this was to look at how life and death encircle one another, certainly throughout a number of cultural perspectives. In other words, I aimed to look at how there is a prevalent belief of living beyond the physically known realms while simaltaneously look at the curious preoccupations people can have over death. The fascination draws on strong spiritual, mythic concepts, something that becomes relevant to my practice and more blatantly so as I continued.
