My next piece... (I think at least)

You know that annoying feeling when you find an artist who has literally done everything you have been trying to do but better and about fifty years ago?

Yeah thank you Hans Haacke and your Condensation Cube..

Now though I'm going to take this as inspiration. The next piece I wish to construct (and I WILL be documenting it on here) four of these cubes, taking direct influence from Haacke. I want to experiment with the ideas of condensation and constructing an environment, perhaps placing plants or leaf pulp in these airtight cubes. Additionally I want to embrace sound in my work and potentially have these cubes on plinths with speakers inside. I wish to source political speeches on the environment and climate change and stretch and distort them so much that I can layer them into tones. In my opinion the more that climate change gets mentioned the more distorted the facts become and politicians all start sounding the same, yet not acting on anything at all in their policies.

We shall see anyways.
