Sculpture 2014: Text ideas

I've been a bit stumped for concepts to work with. I don't usually have a method without a concept, so I'm a bit stuck. The only solid idea I have is the one about human desire - wanting to accomplish things, or wanting to change something about ourselves - deciding to do it - but also not wanting to at the same time. Not doing it.

These are some of the odd notes I made while researching - highlighted are the ones I'm going to explore more.

make menacing things look pretty - "wolf in sheeps clothing"

Contradictions in human desires

- make things and then BREAK things (both physically and also promises, with yourself or otherwise)

- I vow not to do it but then I do it anyway

- for no reason other than that I can

- not that I should, but...

people are pretty scary

professions of love in out of place places

fear of success
'Vertigo is the conflict between the fear of falling and the desire to fall' (secondary idea)

For the actual text I've considered a few methods. As we'll be displaying in a gallery space I know it will be going on a white wall... I don't think the floor would suit this idea, it would be too out of place, however I would have to consider at what height I want to place it, whether I want it aligned centrally, or to the right or left, and how far along the wall.

Spray painting onto a window using a stencil was an idea I had originally entertained - a window because glass would be the easiest to clean afterwards.

I've since been inspired by letter pressing used in printmaking, which is basically a stamp that you fit with letters to customise your own sentences and paragraphs. Using the cardboard I would have used to make the stencil I could craft my own large scale letter press. I have already trialed this with a single letter onto some clear contact - which happens to work really well.
