Final Piece- Kate Hutchinson (SCA)

'Circuit'

End Point Statement- Kate Hutchinson (SCA)

I have now produced a necklace that resembles and operates as an electrical circuit.

Having finished my piece, I am happy with how it turned out- everything just fell into place (something that rarely happens for me. Although I didn’t use the particular material I was given, I chose to base my ideas closely around it, while still in relation to the text.

I felt that through this project we were given a lot of space for ideas to evolve and change, and through this I was able to produce something that I probably wouldn’t have thought of under ‘normal’ circumstances.

So, at this stage I have decided on making an electric circuit that can be worn as a necklace- the idea coming from looking at the circumstances of electricity and how it works.

After gathering the required materials over the weekend- which might I say wasnt as easy as I thought it would be- I have started to make an electric circuit, involving nine light bulbs, some electric wiring and a battery (this all being new to me, as I’ve never made anything involving  electricty before).The circuit is not fully constructed yet, but works when tested with battery pack.

Beginning Statement- Kate Hutchinson (SCA)

Having both my text (“circumstantial”) and material (electrical wire) now, I have started to look at how they relate to each other and can be used together to produce soemthing wearable. 

At the moment I am lookng into electrical circuits and the circumstances of electricity, that is, what makes electricity work, what is the electricity going to produce, what produces the electric current etc.
