OK, for anyone that doesn't know what the foundation diploma is, the very nature of this stage of the course is determined by the student changing their mind. We are currently writing our 'statement of intent' which is our self imposed brief in which we detail what our objectives are, our research bases (gallery visits, books, periodicals and websites etc...), our techniques/processes and materials we will use, and our method of self evaluation (for me this is my blog). Because we have three weeks to decide all of this, and to decide what all of this will look like in our exhibition, we all have to change our minds according to what will be time efficient, financially viable and most importantly, how good it will look. Thus, I have changed my mind very many times in just a week because of new developments in my sketches, and more importantly in the workshop, where I have found time consuming but effective methods of using materials.
I have now decided to completely rule out the making of a male accessory, and to stick to making a pair of women's shoes, still based on the same theme. This will prove much more challenging, as I will have to make these shoes identical, but will look much more professional in the final exhibition, as there will be a pair, rather than one shoe and a belt... which would not complement each other at all.
I am however looking forward to working with a much more feminine inspiration and the outcome will hopefully be my best piece of work so far!
