My first project for semester one started with a paper mach`e bird i made, and then bubble wrapped to hide its meaning and origins. Much Like what Man Ray did in his The Enigma of Isidore Ducasse, 1920, which was a sowing machine covered with an army blanket and string tied it up and then called it Art. My sculpture is the start of a process where i am contextualising the body loosely tied to show a sense of protection and encapsulation. Somewhat utilising what the Dada artists did in the 1920s - 1930,s.
Christo and Jeanne Claude, in their wrapping of this monument has a similar context to hiding an object and looking at through fresh eyes, that is to say if you are looking at the object for the first time and do not know what is hidden.
