Anish Kapoor

Everyone at the moment is going on about Anish Kapoor. Everyone. He's exhibiting at the MCA in Sydney, Circular Quay and for the low low price of $20 you can fall into the rabbit hole and have a squiz into his crazy mind. He's a total bad-ass when it comes to material experimentation and creates weird, abstract, atmospheric sculptures? I question the term sculptures, just because if you see his stuff, it feels more live environment-creation or spatial-manipulation or whatever.

Seriously! Who comes up with this? What kind of thinking creates this? Is Lewis Carroll hanging around? Is his literary nonesense jumping all around the MCA? 

I don't understand this kind of creation, but you don't really need to do you? Its all about experience right? So why the post?

My project has developed, as one should hope, and at the moment its looking more like an installation piece... not really accommodating for student housing. So really im working outside of constraints which is pretty much the wrong thing to do. In the presentations Brad Miller was talking about my client base - which I dont have. I thought about creating one. But i'm not really designing for a client. I have an end user - but im totally disregarding them. Maybe i should adjust the end user? Or should i utilise a client eg an exhibition space coordinator? Brad Miller suggested that i'm fighting against the restraints of projects in previous years. 

Back to the concept - a visual in my mind kinda feels like Anish Kapoors' style. At the moment I'm thinking of pulsing walls and parts of walls that become organic shapes and press in on the space. So I just looked up pictures of tumours and frog eggs to try and give a wee insight into what im going on about. That...well that was the wrong move. Don't do that. Ever. 

I've tried finding pics that would illustrate what im going on about but here is the best I can come up with (mostly because my illustrations are just...shocking. Gonna model it soon in CAD and hopefully that will go better). What im thinking is a combination of:

Well, maybe not Elmo. That thing is creepy though. And shakes. But mostly is creepy. Probably could have just stuck up picture of a ringing phone. Seriously, dont look up tumours. Or frog eggs.
