Mediator Project

I think the general feeling that people took back from hospitalfield was one of eerieness and death, especially after the story that mr payne told us of all the dead lepers they found under the topsoil....like two truck loads of corpses or something. I was intrugued by that, and the dead rabbits, that really caught my attention i dont know why.

Our tutor group fairly struggled over a creative leap in the beggining, i myself was in a mind blank, felt very un-inspired. Our initial thought (probably like everyone else's) was that of an experience which was uncomfortable and played a lot with light. The shadows from the trees particularly inspired our ideas towards using light. I was really unhappy with this idea...i think so were the whole group. Struggling for inspiration i started looking at tim burton material funny little melancholy stories that were just black and white. (type in vincent tim burton to you tube)

So as a group we decided to move away from our first idea and we looked at a few things and ended up at some shadow play, like a mobil. ot mobile, whatever! a childs thing!

Then finally from this we progressed to playing with ink, and dropping it on canvas. Basically our idea was to drop ink from a height onto a canvas with objects on the way down to disperse the ink. The basic concept is that of time and un-predictability, which is supposed to reflect upon the history of hospitalfield and the eclectic nature of the actual building and the uncertainty of its future. it worked fairly well on the day, not a complete success but it was grand, everyone got the idea, i think??
