The goal of my first project is to create an environment in which I deprive the viewer of their senses which leads the participant to rely on other senses in order to construct an interpretation of what is within the box. Then I have the participant draw out what they had Imagined which I will then interpret and produce a sculpture based on that drawing, Throughout this process I want to analyze and witness the translation between a 3-D form into and a 2-D manifestation and then have it be returned to its original 3-D state. I also want to note want to note what features get lost in translation during the process. Its kind of like a glorified telephone game.
I have looked into how our bodies are able to experience things with our senses and how predispositions/prior knowledge of texture/form/sound inhibits us from seeing something from a new viewpoint.
