With a week long tangent exploring doors and door movements....im back on track. The track of doorknobs and locks. Back to the minute detail that i wanted to exlore. The lock, in its parts creating a story...each time a person opens the door.
The chosen site is the morgue door. I felt this was appropriate as the students' work is very much the identity of the school (or any school) and ties together with the search for self in Antin's art. The site...also has a deep narrative and the name itself conjures many images.
I'm a little worried about the huge mess of ideas that are to be incorporated into the doorknob:
Antins work - her search for Self (framework for the whole process)
the material - the contrast with a heavily concrete site...hopefully will give emphasis to the wood.
the element - doorknob/lock - keeping things secure.
the site - the morgue (dealings with the imagery, narratives, clockworks that are involved in the site)
myself - explorations in the absurd.
myself - explorations in the absurd.
Right now...im thinking of incorporating...the story of Charon and Cerberus into the lock...as well as using the ideas of a columbarium.
