Final Project-research
By knicy | April 30, 2009
So the end of the semester has come along with the self guided final project. My project was to explore the use of space with a repeatative object all the while attempting to interact with the viewer. Being the end of the semester….money was an issue….I had to use something I already had or could find. Ahh Yes……SHOES! I have loads of shoes and they are all awesome. I researched some artists that used shoes and found some really interesting pieces. These are some I found:
Meret Oppenheim
Gazen Bowen
Willie Cole
Now that I had an idea what others did with shoes, I had to come up with my own idea. While at home I found a small “bird cage” and some fancy keys. I put a pair of shoes in the cage with the keys hanging next to it. That was not a use of space or viewer interaction. I also wrapped the shoes with strips of fabric….sorta like ancient foot binding. I still wasn’t thinking on the right level. Eventual I came to the cage again and shoes escaping from it. This was it and I ran withn it. So here are my first attempts at this in the art building.

After playing with the shoes in the installation space for a couple hours and getting some much needed feedback, I felt I had a good grasp on what I would do in the end. Pictures from the actual finished piece to come.
