I’m currently an art student at the University, and I thought I would show a few art projects here and there that I did. For those of you who don’t know, an art installation is (as defined by wiki) an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space.
I major in drawing and sculpture, but within sculpture, I tend to do a lot of installations. This was the first one I ever did, and I was really proud of it:
I did an installation that was held at the University of Calgary last year (2013) that was on the perception from the outside and inside of anxiety.
Outside: On the framed photo in the back is the room before it was destroyed. Perfectly set up, all white, everything placed a certain way. That is the image people with anxiety try to emulate. Put together, normal. There is no room for messy or broken, everything is the way it should be.
Inside: The room itself is broken, torn apart, covered in black paint strokes. This shows the person going through anxiety inside. The reality of anxiety and how it affects us. Sometimes you aren’t aware that someone has anxiety, and that’s how they want to present themselves. But when things get rough, it gets harder and harder to hide.
I’m hoping to do this installation in a gallery one day, but for now these images will do! I hope you guys enjoy!
