TEST: sand castles

Here are some images of my first materials test for my installation. The presentation is rudimentary, so please excuse this.








To explain: it is a live feed of a small sand pit. The audience (aka my flatmates) are invited to create their own landscapes. Not having any buckets and spades to hand, I've substituted eggcups. This was then projected as large as I could onto one wall of our living room. The effect was like having an ever changing landscape painting on the wall. 




If I could I would have a cleaner space on which to project. I would also use a bigger sand pit and make my own moulds to be used as sand castle buckets. 

I've used sand this time. We're so close to the beach. I have a theory that the sandy beaches down here in Bournemouth encourage a distinctive behaviour in the residents. Sand has been a recurring material in the work I've been looking at. I've probably been quite influenced.
