Transforming the everyday part 3

Finally, I found something that I enjoyed and something I knew how to make already so I had a positive side while creating my idea. My idea was to cover my hand in mud rock/cast and use it has door handles. Because I wanted to create more than one hand it gave me an idea that I could use these hand models and use it for a cupboard. So when the models were painted to look realistic as I could paint it, I used my sister to pose with the models at home using the drawers and doors that I had.
Also, since I was using features of the body, I created something that may exist already but I haven't seen for myself which was to use my foot as a door stop.

Transforming the everyday part 2

I started to make a teapot out of clay but it didn't work out because the clay was way to wet and heavy and it couldn't hold the shape that I wanted. So I used chicken wire to create the shape and I would cover it up with less clay. At first I was willing to cover it up with sugar cubes but they clay would still be visible and would look appealing. Sugar cubes was an idea because I don't take sugars for my tea but I know many people that do so making a teapot out of sugar cubes would satisfy many people if it really was possible to make something that makes them enjoy tea more like sugar. But as I said about the clay it would be too visible and started to add something that had no link to teapots. Sticks is was I added...
Adding sticks was a bad idea but the chicken wire inside that clay started to appear to, this teapot wasn't going to plan atall

Transforming the everyday

The project that we are focusing on now is transforming the everyday. Anything that we use on a daily basis can be transformed and as an instant idea I thought of alarms clocks since that's what I use so that I'm on time to college. While looking at several alarm clock images I came across the computer game character Pac man and was inspired by where the clock was which was inside his mouth. So I had the idea of using humans lips but couldn't think of how I could transform it to my satisfaction. So I moved on completely and thought of teapots.

Final Trancription!


 Through the history of the Grote Kerk, it was set alight by a worker who just got fired at the church. At first he tried to kill himself but failed and accidently burnt the church which left the delicate building into pieces until it got renewed. This is were I transcribed this and made it look more of a newer Grote Kerk but after building it the second time, it got set on fire again!
I then went to the park and set it on fire leaving my hard work behind and left it there to ruin in ashes. It wasnt completly burnt down because I still wanted to show how delicate a Cathederal really is.


The ruins and ashes

Transcriptions Project coming together...

Painted white so that I could create my own Cathedral patterns
Here I added the patterns, and for my modern effect it gave a new look by giving a round interior as well as the outside.
This is the view of my Grote Kerk from the windown before it got burnt down
