Informal interests, observations & Urban outcomes Practices. The beauty of street art rests in it’s placement. This painting of a person falling to their knees under the urban landscape which towers in a mess above them has it’s message amplified by it’s placement. The plant life which perseveres and grows in a patch of soil (surrounded by concrete) feels like an extension of the painting. Appropriation and the reclamation of discarded materials makes for interesting creations that may surprise the creator themselves. It seems that the urban environment is rife with interesting objects that Emulation or perhaps the notion have rich stories to tell. Some of of momentum was an the modified “junk” observed in interesting observation Brunswick was quite intelligent made throughout my own in it’s application.
- as well as my peers - projects. It’s apparent that public fear is overturned through herd mentality, a feeling of inclusion or the knowledge that they are not the first person to partake in an activity. The “Breadcrumb” Theory or the practice of leaving clues around the urban landscape creates a sense of reward, elitism and mystery. All of these can be used to remedy public fear of involvement, a major hurdle encountered in all my projects. Daniel Kerris (S3198321)

...fossils created on site. The aim is to harbour the creation of exhibits that will become remnants of the practice, instantly recognisable as signs of human activity and intervention. I will aim to accomplish this through three categories of objects.
Invitations
The first category of structural building blocks will function as invitations, that, upon being brought to the gallery, are incorporated into the sculptures. The sculptures will grow in size as more and more visitors leave their mark. They will contain some sort of clue or link (perhaps a web link) that can be followed up upon, rather than a blunt invitation to the gallery.
Structural Components
These larger pieces will be used to build upon our given location, wherever it may be. To create infrastructure that the invitations may be slotted into, to cordon off areas, to create privacy or to bottleneck the flow of pedestrians.
Urban Creatures
These pieces will consist of shapes that accomodate objects commonly found throughout the urban environment such as milk crates, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers as well as having both symbolic and abstract forms. The creatures will “move� by being rearranged by the public, which we will capture and display in stop-motion. Daniel Kerris (S3198321)
