R-E-L-A-Y Project Chain

Chain 1

1. The first stage of my work on the briefing day.

 

2. Then I swapped my sketchbook with ZHONG Junkun,  who recorded some noises to convey the feeling of my chaotic lines.

3. Then he swapped his work with  Matilde Catalano.  So the final stage of this chain turned out to be as followed:

  

Chain 2

1. The sketchbook I gained.

2. The figure of this sketch looked as if it had been melting, which reminded me of something expressionistic and miserable. The key words included woman, wires, black, slender and crisscross. So a woman who was melting due to agony came across my head.  I made some sketches to record this inspiration and then I decided to make a sculpture of kneadable eraser because its kneadability  could express the feeling of "melt". I combined the word "crisscross" with my sculpture. The woman tried to grasp the cross in front of her for rescue but that was in vain. The cross was made of paper maché so that it looked damaged.

3. Then I swapped my work with Juuso Anttila and he turned the sculpture into his drawing language.

Chain 3

1. The first stage

2. The second stage from Juuso Anttila

3.  The third stage from me.  I did some analysis trying  capturing the feeling of the animated image and finally drew a storyboard in an abstract way telling a plot of farewell ，in whose three stages the back of the role was gradually disappearing in the crowd.

 

Orienteering around Shoreditch on 10th October

Eight of us went on a mission to orient ourselves around Shoreditch on 10th October.

| Map |

We had super tasty Vienamese dishes at Huong Restaurant for lunch.

My sketches. I drew down some items inspiring me greatly.

 | KK Outlet Gallery |

| Artwords Bookshop |

We met a very gorgeous bulldog there. To take photos is not allowed in this shop. So I just browsed through several magazines and left. But still I found something very inspiring.

| YCN_ |

| Kemistry Gallery |

Regretably, this shop was closed.

| Material |

This was my favourite store! Children's books there were particularly cute! Most of them were drawn in a very detailed and traditional way,  expressing a cozy feeling.

| Labour and Wait |

That was the end of our orienteering. I did have a wonderful day :)

1st Project- Talking Heads Nothing But Flower

Here we stand

Like an Adam and an Eve

Waterfalls

The Garden of Eden

Two fools in love

So beautiful and strong

The birds in the trees

Are smiling upon them

From the age of the dinosaurs

Cars have run on gasoline

Where, where have they gone?

Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory

Now there are mountains and rivers

you got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake

Now we got something for dinner

we got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall

Now it's all covered with flowers

you've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise

I wish I had a lawnmower

you've got it, you've got it

Years ago

I was an angry young man

I'd pretend

That I was a billboard

Standing tall

By the side of the road

I fell in love

With a beautiful highway

This used to be real estate

Now it's only fields and trees

Where, where is the town

Now, it's nothing but flowers

The highways and cars

Were sacrificed for agriculture

I thought that we'd start over

But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots

Now it's a peaceful oasis

you got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut

Now it's all covered with daisies

you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,

Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens

you got it, you got it

And as things fell apart

Nobody paid much attention

you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies,

Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies

you got it, you got it

We used to microwave

Now we just eat nuts and berries

you got it, you got it

This was a discount store,

Now it's turned into a cornfield

you got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here

I can't get used to this lifestyle

-------------------------------------------

What kind of feelings does this song convey 

What kind of images does it remind me of

primitive commune - argriculture society - industrial society => falling apart? stranded?

Some Interesting Images

His interpretation of hopeful or depraved life and people in metropolis depicted with unique color and special effect of light is attractive.

I am fond of the unique visual angle, the accurate perspective, the vivid colour and the crowdedness of the houses expressing the vibrancy of a city.

This photo is minimalistic. But I was told loneliness and  confusion on the path to the home of soul in  this image.

                                The vagueness created a mysterious and lonely atmosphere.

The original image is a motional picture. I love its simple color and simple shapes which depict accurately people's reliance on internet and mobile phones in modern life.

It's hard to say wether the artworks of this artist look like dreams or nightmares . He often uses graphite, resin and other materials on mylar or panel and combines elements of  industrial society with the great nature.

This image depicts a feeling of summer in a realistic but graphic way. The green wall, which should be white actually,  makes people feel refreshed in hot summer. The original image is a motion picture.

This image depicting a daily life scene in Japan with watercolor is very nostalgic and fine. I love this style. This reminds me of my own childhood.

I like its color and depraved atmosphere.
