After experiencing the failure of my initial object and taking in regard the questions that the previous object raised I am now investigating water and waterpolo. Looking into the materiality of the water and capturing aspects of the game and water movement in a sculptural way. Expressing the encompassing feeling of water around the body, the slowed motion of your bodies movement within the pool. Looking into the tension formed between the three components of body, water and movement. How the water reacts when in a contained form such as a pool and a person is introduced. By documenting the water’s movement with photographs and film I plan to take the captured forms produced by the water and person and turn the fluidity and motion of it into a sculptural frozen form.
