ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS FROM THE BRIEF:

The problem – tractability and practicality of fabric, especially delicate fabric (as a material, main medium) in (3D) sculpture/installation

This problem is important because fabric has begun to interest me in many ways and I’d like to use it in my further practice; I’ve experimented with organza fabric as a medium for paintings and ended up displaying my work as a 3D installation.

The problem affects many artists – focusing on the medium in their practice, but mainly my own practice. It limits and disables artists to use the idea of fragility in form of sculptural artowork/ piece.

The causality of the problem stems from the material itself – its characteristics; specific.

If the problem does not get solved, it will still be difficult to present emotion and vulnerability in sculpture without showing the end product in form a representation of the impact of manual work on the fabric. However, many artists may prefer this direct approach as it depicts the nature and authenticity of the medium, which of course should be important.

I think that I can solve this problem on my own, at least start exploring possible solutions or allowing and evaluating different approaches.

This problem is connected to the way viewers interpret sculpture and its installation – the influence of medium in interpretation (physical/tactile features). This is something every artist considers and tackles accordingly tot he expertise.
