On Friday to start pushing mine and Sadie's Collaborative Brief forwards we arranged a trip to Leeds archives to Look at bones, anatomy and taxonomy. Our brief is focused around a shop installation piece, with the subject matter or anatomy and mechanics and how they cross reference each other so we got some really good reference material to get started with.
Leeds Archives - Animal Anatomy
Animal Heads/Plaques
The Royal ArmoriesThis was such a good
experience, we got to watch a live samurai demonstration whilst
re-searching at the same time. I Found the museum quite depressing by
the end of it, as I realized that everything I was looking at had one
design purpose only, which was to kill. But after looking at hundreds of
guns, swords and knives I got some really good Ideas of incorporating
some of these items into some of mine and Sadie's drawings of animal
skulls etc.
