Final Project proposal

I am really interesting in using materials in non-conventional ways.  In the last few years I have geared this towards fabric, a material normally thought to be used in clothes or stretched as a canvas.  I think I'm interested in continuing my experimentation with fabric for this project.  I could see my images developing onto fabric like a print (think a little girls flower dress, or geometric patterns of plaid).  Or I think I will push the images to become a part of sculpture through breaking up how I print them or using plastic on top of the fabric to create layers.  I have not come up with what sort of images I want to use, I'm stuck between using abstractions of objects that will make the sculptural abstraction the focus or a focused image of a scene that makes piecing the image together important.

Summary The Photograph as an Art Object

I found this article really interesting, in the way Cole discussed artists who are pushing the boundaries of what lies within the medium, 'photography'.  Most of the contemporary artist she discusses are either sculptors or work with the medium as sculpture.  I was really interested in artist Braine's recent work with colour film.  Taking film and physically abstracting it as well as developing it without exposing it, essentially using traditional materials of photography while eliminating the 'photo' element.  The other artists really grasp onto the idea of pushing what they can do with the image, pushing past the flatness of a photo.  Cockburn takes the image and manipulates it while developing, from drawing on it to using embroidery.  While Harvey-Regan uses photos of simple objects in new ways, like placing the photo on the floor and hanging the rock like a photo.
