17th November Tutorial update

Sketchbook thoughts

I'm trying to illustrate my narrative (Like water for chocolate) in a series of actions - 12 actions corresponding with the 12 chapters; flooding, filling, picking, grinding, steam, burning matches, pouring down, acceleration, cocoa&rising, flow, water for hot chocolate anger and the final - which I have managed to do in a combination of using the plastic cocoa bags system and the chocolate melting hot-plates. I picked these words at a point when I was a little stuck. They're quite repetitive. To connect these two systems together as a piece, I thought I could arrange them in a way (using the frame as a means of holding it up) that they combine together to produce (a cup?) of hot chocolate at the end of it. This also ties it back to the kitchen as a site.. Would love some comments/suggestions/criticisms from you all....

Chocolate melting hot plates with water as intermediate.. hanging and floating.

Buckets and waterbags which move up and down due to flow of water

Some crit-wall images.(more to come)

The photos are of my development, but will be taking better ones in the studio on monday.

My crit

Sorry for the bad quality. The photos were taken very quickly. Will scan in and post my images that were on the wall separately.

Only a few quick photos of some of the crits.. Sorry, camera is still relatively new and some are not very focused.. =P
