Descriptive Summary- Hannah

I plan to move on to making a series of objects that function in a non-functional
way. Building off or altering everyday objects-
or recreating them using traditional sculptural materials such as wood. Creating objects so the viewer is seeing something they know and have seen before in a new way. Playing on ideas around modernist/minimalist sculpture. Possibly taking on more of a Martin Creed approach and reacting to found objects around me.

I'm interested in creating works that cause the viewer to question the artists
decision making.
Leaving the work an instant, having the artists hand visible.
Creating new objects that play on the viewers understanding of how
it works and causes the viewer to question the object in relation to
their body and the space it has been inserted into.

Things to think about:

• What is art?
• How does functionality work in art – does art have a function
• Utilitarian idea – use opposed to a function – use becomes the purpose of
being art
• What happens to these non-functional objects once put in the context of a
gallery – objects then gain a purpose – art for arts sake/made to be art
