Materials in installation art varies.The materials used is what the artist finds unique to what message they are trying to convey. The material can be as simple as nature itself to man made products.
Installation art is created to capture something in a time or place. To allow the viewer to place themselves in the work of art.
I found an earthwork called Serpent Mound, near Locust Grove, Ohio to be interesting. I found it to be interesting because it is a natural work of art that changes with the seasons of life.
I feel more of a connection with the Serpent Mound because it is a natural work of art but because it also goes through the changes of season and life just like I do.
I wanted to choose the human experience and self theme.
I used materials from my personal space like my sneaker boxes, photo, and bottles of body spray.
This installation is located in my room because it is where I spend the most time when I want to just get away and think of my next moves. I also chose my room because I chose materials that were personal to me.
I used line and directional movement because the boxes continue to move upward. Mass and shape are also used because my installation has a definite shape and mass present.Color is also used as well as light.
Planning and creating the installation was not that hard. I wanted to create something that is a reflection of me which I found to be an easy task. I found it to be easy not because the simplicity of the installation, but because what better topic to express than yourself. There are always material around you that you can use to create a self creation. Choosing the site was simple because I think of my room as my own piece of serenity away from the rest of my house and away from the rest of the world.
