Evidently, there was a huge shift in my project as my understanding and approach of fantasy, escapism and imagination was not realised through representation. This development within my project was propelled by key concerns of experience and becoming in relation to this escape into a new world or this sort of fantasy. At the end of phase one a phrase that came up was 'material maturity', I wanted to introduced contrasting materials such a concrete and sand into the installation to give it more grittiness, weight and perhaps speak to a kind of adult corruption. It was about obliterating what we already know or are familiar with, that was my turning point. Fantasy was found in the pockets of everyday, it is found in those fleeting moments of nostalgia, it is in the moments of unfamiliarity. Well that was what I had realised in reflection of my 'castle' installation. It wasn't about turning to these cliché symbols or motifs to inform a fantasy, it was about turning to the present or the future moments in which one can have an individual experience. Material maturity was a concept that shaped not only the aesthetics of my developing project but shifted my approach to methods of making. I began foraging for materials and found object on beaches and sidewalks, where I turned to this kind of abject material, one of disregard and degradation. Assemblage and this kind of collaging-painting making methods were still heavily instilled in the installation but were informed by different materials. Suddenly I was playing around with plastics, plastics bags, latex, metal rods, fabrics, dirt, plaster, clay containers etc. My studio became reminiscent of a kind of apocalyptic aftermath and construction site. As I began experimenting and playing, it had occurred to me that what had driven my practice was this active space. This active space of making where process meets material. As I had this epiphany, I had realised that a fantasy has always existed or manifested in my practice, there was no need to create one or force it out, it was already there. I suppose this active space is what shaped the developments of my project as it served as a place of infinity where there was no beginning or end. This is where fantasy resided within as it allowed for experience, becoming and being in relation to accessing a new world or fantasy. Initially I began playing around with different materials and such as plaster with sand residue, or placing old towels from the beach onto bone like structures, suddenly viewer were forced into experiencing the work because they had no pre-conditions ideas of what they were looking at. This experience simultaneously creating a becoming with the work, as one work experience, one became. This becoming was essential as it created a individual experience where each viewer could be taken anywhere. In trying to understand this 'thing' in front of them, they were escaping into a new plane of life, or a new fold. It became about utilizing these ideas of opportunity and possibility to drive my work. Overall this phase was about a obliteration of representation in order to access this notion of fantasy in relation to experience and becoming. It was about turning to a abstract machine (beyond representation) where something is rather required to be looked with rather than just looked at. As I began my second install, it become apparent that duration was a big part of my project. Over the timeframe of a week, I began to layer an, place, arrange, add, subtract etc in which a kind of entropy emerged. It became apparent that while there was a becoming, there was simultaneously an unbecoming, a infinity. This is where the fantasy was, where there was this never ending array of material and object relations that keep you looking for more, an unfolding, materials were constantly being shaped and redefined. Lastly the emergence of entropy manifested the concept of time within my work, perhaps through introducing water as a material of the water. Water seemed to be the life source, a vitality, in which it instilled a life and death of the work.
