I decided to use shadows and work with the destruction of fuels, destroying over things, hence the fact if i make a shadow and then burn the object making the shadow, not only would the shape of the object change, so would the shadow.
This idea was generated through 2 artists called Tim Noble and Sue Webster. They worked with junk, they would carefully and thoughtfully place the junk in different poses/pisitions and then when a light would be shined on them, the shadow would appear on the wall behind them.
I would do this using my resources, and then once lit the shadow wall change aswell as the object im burning. And i would photograph the stages of this process and make a timeline almost like the time today where we are using the resource up in everyday life!

A final outcome for the enviroment project.
When i was deciding what to do for my final outcome for the first project, i needed to create an object or series of objects which would give the audience a message or an idea of a message i was trying to get across.
Before deciding on my final piece i had to go away and research into a specific enviromental problem, and in my case i was looking at the fact, that we are over using fossill fuels and they are not replacable, so while taking a deeper look into that problem i had to find something which i could base my work around.
I looked into the fact that Asia uses almost 67% of total coal usage alone, followed by the US and then Russia. So i started to think that maybe i should look into them countrys and the fact that they use so much coal and maybe incorporate that into my final outcome. I wanted to work with coal, so i started thinking maybe go and create a small scale map of some of them countrys and then ignite it, so that once the coal has burnt through you would not be able to tell that it was previously a map of Asia/Russia. I did not know how to incorporate america into the map without missing half the world, so then i decided to take a look at what links these countries. Then i thought of travel and the fact that they would trade and transport around the world to eachover.
