After receiving the project brief and my text for this project I decided to start researching into media forms as I am less familiar with this form of art than I am with Design for example.
As my text is about moths, I searched around for some artists/designers who had done previous work relating to this theme. One of the recommended artists was Stan Brakhage. In 1963 he was experimenting with film real, and found that the dust specks on the real looked like little creatures or patterns, and in particular moths. After developing this he came up with the short film 'moth lights'.
After seeing this piece in my first lecture, among all of the others I completely fell in love with his work. I found myself glued to the projection unable to tear my mind away from all the imaginative possibilities of what I was able to see in the projections.
I have been very inspired by the delicate patterns and texutres portrayed in his projections of this film piece and cannot wait to get started on my project and explore further the patterns and colours different materials can make to produce my own media piece, whether it be in the form of film, projections, photography, performance art or installations, as these are the main aspects I am most interested in.
