Colour; therapy and the mind

Been having a few issues of how to put across what I want to say in my contextual analysis/ review. I know what I want to say but don't know how to word it.....I know I want to say about how people see colour and the meanings behind colour. how colour can effect people and how Catherine Yass uses light boxes and how to me by using light and colour together it can draw us in. from my own experience I see bright colour in my work and around me. Also mentioning about colour therapy and sensory rooms for the disabled can help. think i need to research more into how people see colour and not be so physiological about mental health and focus more how colour can help the mind.

inspirations ...

these are some of the inspirations i have been focusing on for my studio practice work looking at liquid light shows and how light are made and hung also looking at planet and out of this world surfaces. think there will be some exciting stuff coming soon i hope :)

task for this week is ...

to write the introduction of what we are going to put in our contextual review/ analysis

                                                                Catherine Yass ; Cell
In my contextual review I will be concentrating on the colour in the piece and how this reflects with the subject in the photo. How Catherine Yass has cleverly made her photo into a Light box and how this effects the colour and the subject matter. Highlighting the meaning of colour and why it is so important. I will be focusing on how colour can help those with mental conditions especially colour therapy. 

photos i have taken today :)

these are some of the photos i have taken today from my dads lighting shop of the pretty chandeliers :)
hopfully can do some good editing and have some inspiration for my work maybe to recreate some of the modern style lights.

past work...

presentation ...

I  have had feedback from my presentation I did on my chosen piece. I feel that I could have done better as I was nervous and I found it hard to read my notes as i was in a dark room. however the feedback was quite positive all I have to do now is to make myself more clear in what I am going to write about and do even more research on my subject.

The task for this week is to identify 3 issues within the presentation that I'm going to focus on in my critical analysis.

1. the use of colour Catherine Yass uses in her work , the meaning of the colour, positive and negetive effect.
2. Lightboxs and how the light can effect the colour and effect people with mental health conditions
3. how colour can help people with mental illness
