...the present future

The following is a list of possible ideas/experiments/future plans. The list has been compiled throughout the duration of the MFA. Some were suggested to me by advisors/crit. group/peers and others were part of my research and brainstorming process. I have decided to document it all here so that I can put everything into one place. I will continue adding to this list as time progresses as well as document the outcomes.

Asking questions such as "what can drawing potentially be?" and "how to visualise breath [air]?" the following ideas were generated:

Breathing onto mirror/glass
Breathing smoke
Cold air/breath
Tracking breathing patterns
Tracing the movement of the chest
Breathing into a plastic/paper bag
Breathing into fine powder
Breathing out under water
Breathing into bubbles
The human form and the exaggerated breath
Movement & the breath
Breathing across fine sand/gold leaf/dirt
The breath that centres
Holding the breath
The breath before the scream/cry/silence
Is there a way of turning breath into light?
Experiments in solitude: looking into residencies in remote landscapes as a meditation on solitude.
Experiments in the potential for light, sound/vibration, scale, projection/reflection, breath and pace as mediums with which to draw.
Drawing with light and sound in response to the heartbeat/breath
Drawing with smoke and light
Drawing with air and light
Drawings that you can walk though
Walking as drawing or drawing as walking
Drawings that change over time
Drawings that are consumed (by mould, water, algae, rust, weeds, the movement of people, the movement of air/of breath/wind
Drawings that melt
3 Dimensional objects that melt into 0 dimensional sound
Drawing with movement/kinetic objects
Drawings that deteriorates in response to the presence of people or the opposite: the more time people spending looking at the drawing, observing, the slower the deterioration in someway????
Drawings that are reflected and slowly cloud over - like steam on a mirror
Drawing with shadow
Drawing with temperature
Drawing with touch and skin
Drawings that use light and heartbeat signals
Drawing with vibration and heartbeats
How to draw with the other senses?
Drawing as social experience
Drawing as ritual
Drawing and controlled environments
Drawing and uncontrolled environments
Drawing and dance
Drawing and sadness
drawing and excitement
Drawing and anticipation
Drawing with constrictions
Drawing without constriction
Drawing in the landscape
Drawing and camouflage
Drawing with different transparent &/or ephemeral materials
Drawing with smoke/fire through sunlight and magnifying glass
Introduce proximity sensors, LED lights into the project
Develop ways of drawing that expands/projects into 3D spaces
Experiment with different experiences and to then observe and document the effect these experiences have on the drawing and writing process.
Documentation of the dust/pigment/powder drawings -did the dust fall to the floor?
Film/document [visualising breath series] how the “mist” over time disappears —the breathing allows for the mist to go…how would you embody and feel to know your naked body becomes now visible to the viewer as the mist goes away…I’m wondering if in that visibility is the vulnerability. Write about your experience
A breath as an ever changing existence
Look more into landscapes, the breath and movement through isolated landscapes
Breathe in/out to hold/plot each line/dot in place.
Research heat sensitive paper. Maybe you could breathe through the pinhole paper and onto heat sensitive paper. Maybe use a hair dryer.
Consider presenting your light drawing under a looking glass or a moving light.
Time-lapse documentation of the sun behind the light drawings. Fascinating implications, with the eclipse appearing when the sun is behind it
How to use air in the drawing process?
Creation mythologies that deal with light and breath and sound (deities that breathe life into existence and the manifestation of light)
Use other tools to alter the sheets of film/paper - fire, scratching, drilling, tearing, hammering to make it thinner in places.
