Investigation of Human Behaviour in an Interior Space”
Project proposal; area of investigation, including the context for your work:
My body of work is an exploration of how young middle-class adults act in a private setting. Privacy is a basic human desire. The interior of a home is where many tend to feel safe. Interiors hold many secrets, as well as reveal them. It is within domestic settings, for instance, where we experience heightened erotic moments.
Contemporary artists such as Eric Fischl, Sidney Goodman, Bob Newman, and Francis Bacon, concentrate on ambiguous eroticism.
My intent is to project ambiguities for the viewer to question the erotic scene they are witnessing, and their own role as spectator/voyeur. Further research into the role of spectator and the male gaze will be taken (looking at such literary works as Laura Mulvey).
Explore the ideas of environmental psychology (how humans behave in a particular setting) through photography, drawing, sculpture and painting; Examine how humans interact within an interior domestic space (approach or avoidance through the idea of Scopophilia); Investigate the idea of the male or female gaze and examining how this is influential/contributes to my work; Also, investigate contemporary dance and how the fluidity/contortions of the dancers can be used as a dialogue to my work.
