The main theme behind what I am current doing is a poem by the spoken word artist, Jefferson Bethke, an international Christian poet. The title of his poem is: sex, marriage and fairytales. You can the video at the following youtube linke: https://youtu.be/I4OK9DmLpCY and the lyrics of the poem at: http://genius.com/Jefferson-bethke-sex-marriage-and-fairytales-annotated
From this poem, I have been developing the whole disney and media idea of romance and have used his poem as my actual reference and inspiration for both the clay and pierced out domed pieces. I have also designed a few more things from this, like a ring which represent a rollercoaster.
From this poem, I have been developing the whole disney and media idea of romance and have used his poem as my actual reference and inspiration for both the clay and pierced out domed pieces. I have also designed a few more things from this, like a ring which represent a rollercoaster.
These are CAD/CAM pictures of what am idea I am still developing. The picture below are some of the pictures I am still working on for my interpretation of a rollercoaster ring.
The whole rollercoaster reveals the instability which he speaks of in his poem, while also the instability of life and marriage itself.
I still need to fine tune the idea, but now I am just interpreting the idea and the possibilities of expressing the narrative.
