Sarah Lynch – Circles

 

 

There is a visual suggestion of a landscape achieved with the way Lynch positions the sculptures using a tabletop and wall backdrop.

Make A Work Which Moves From One Place To Another

Creating Something which ultimately stays the same but changes as it moves.

‘Every person sees things in his or her own way and as perception becomes a person’s reality this can lead to misunderstandings. Differences in perception result in different people seeing different things and attaching different meanings to the same stimuli.’

The blog also allowed me to document the whole process, and the struggle it can be depending on people.

 These chair have been made amalgamating different clothing items together. (button and lace) (buckles and hair pins)

   

These chairs head further towards the idea of design, as the first is knitted (not a manipulated item) and a zip, with the item first take apart and destroy before being redesigned to resemble a chair
