Yorkshire Sculpture Park

We worked as a group of 4 to create a sculptures based on abstract mark making and collages that we had created before going on a trip to Yorkshire sculpture park. We created 4 sculptures then chose the best sculpture to take to YSP to photograph in 100 different which allowed us to develop our work further.

While we were there we were set a task to create a found alphabet; we first chose to create the found alphabet from sculpture pieces all around the exhibition.

However we chose to base our project on the artist Rana Begum; Occasional Geometries exhibition as we loved the colour and abstract element of her work. We then created a more refined found alphabet from one of her sculptures.

The 3 final outcomes:
Outcome 1: Using our original alphabet inspired by Rana Begums sculpture we created a relief alphabet using tape and light to create shadows. The shadows allowed us to find more shapes and letters within the reliefs. From the relief letters and shadows I put them into concept as if they were parts of buildings.

Outcome 2: An interactive buzzer game that spelt the work 'Geo' (short for geometries) as an interactive element which was created using wire. We used the 'G,E and O' from our original alphabet.

Outcome 3: Several pieces that we displayed and photographed on the projector where we combined the collages and alphabet together.
