year 3 sculpture proposal

My work was inspired by a conversation with a student …young max … about `intuitive’ art.
I thought deep and hard about the word `intuition’ , what it means and what it infers, and decided that intuition is merely an ability to read patterns.
Pattern reading is a tool used by us humans for as long as we have existed, and in fact by all living creatures on this planet.
Everything works in pattern…talked to young Al and he put me onto the Chaos Theory, which I have looked into online but haven’t yet read the book.
Sharks and reptiles are the oldest living creatures on the planet and shark people have also been around since our beginning. Shark people are very good at reading people and using the information they receive to their advantage.
Genetic mapping is a new weapon using an old system.
They are our blueprint. And bring up the common argument for and against , nature versus nurture.
So from all of this and my past influences with work I came up with a few works that I would like to meld together.
1. Make up to 500 sharks and have them hanging from the ceiling, different lengths. They will kinetically set each other off, made out of plaster of paris referencing the museum and their ancientness, with sound underneath…white noise, because hammerheads have very highly sensitive electro-magnetic charges that emanate from the ends of their hammers.
2. 4 girls, `real girls’ using archetypes of female sexuality and gender, life size, 1940`s pin-up(damned whores) , nun (Gods police), girl/boy (androgene), Madonna ( the new Madonna coming second)
3. Video footage of the Dna map that I have bought back.
4. Possibly a feast, with the new Madonna in the background with a halo of blood (DNA) called Dolores; lady of sorrows from the virgin mary: Nora; the bright one, honor light: Araceli; alter of heaven, based on Leonardo da Vinci`s; Man. And a human corpse made from vegetable matter as the main feast ( the Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover; Peter Greenaway)
5. A whole heap of little vials full of white stuff labelled with different animals etc called Noah`s Ark.
Looked up the General Agreement on Trades and Tariff, 1993, Intellectual Property Act, legalising the selling of patent rights on all genes of all living things including, fauna and human.
All statues will be made out of plaster of paris referencing museums, outdated archetypes and the old. Douglas Crimps book On the Museum `s Ruins was a definite influence on this work especially his chapter about Maplethorpe and homosexuality and gender which also is as old as we.also the white of the plaster infers purity and sterilty.
Len Lye has also been a major influence and while working in the Ak Art Gallery last year I was lucky enough to see his `universe' for extended periods of time, which reeally is the only way to look at art, the only way you can really get to appreciate the work.
and yes i shall be articulating this all a lot better soon,these are the ideas that have been running through my head and work over the last three months or more...no wonder i cant sleep
