Brain storming

Initial ideas x2
  •  1- POSTER -make a visual aesthetic semblance of the paradigm; does the end justify the means?  There is a controversy of taking anabolic steroids to improve performance versus the consesquences of that gain. I envisage making a large steroid capsule or of sketched ideas using the pill within the finished piece. A poster of forms of doping with photoshoped images and conceptual use of words and images.
  • 2 - PHOTOGRAPY make a visual photograph series of crossing the finish line - try to visualise the moment in terms of how a personal achievement elevates the human spirit. Can I make a statement visual or conceptual on how the human spirit if it has a significance is highlighted in physical competition. Analogies to failure visual represe ntation of failure could make a comparison. I could imagine consequences of not having the Olympics - does it have a significance?
  • 3  - PAINTING/PRINTING/SCLULPTURE  make sketches using the colours of ancient Greek vases and imagined figures painted on them. Paintings of Heraea runners thought to create a shard of ceramic or resin which represents a piece of our history but has a relevance to our modern spectacle of the Olympics.  Comparing  moral and aesthetic aspects of the Ancient Olympic agenda to our perhaps more commercial and now global coverage of the Olympics. This comparison should lead to a visual imagined contrast of form. Research on Olympics
  • Plato on Women and the Family chapter Part Six  The Republic,  1987. Translated by Desmond Lee; Penguin Classics, Penguin Books.
