But on descussion with my tutor, the idea was not stopped, but instead looked at from a different angle. My tutor explained to me that by doing these art peices I wouldn't be stepping out of my comfort zone, after painting and drawing in the level 4 he suggested I move a step closer to honour and show respect for the troops that have lost limbs and we came up with an idea.
Instead of drawing a soldier with no limb, how about I try to experience loosing a limb for a morning or try for the day (laugh with uncertainty).
So rather than creating a visual art piece it would be a performance. To experience trying to do everyday normal tasks that would otherwise be no trouble at all for someone who had all there limbs.
For this I would somehow make a fixing that would restrict my hand/arm movement to zero. I wasn't however going to replicate a real prostheses as time and of course money wasn't on my side. So now I was on the hunt for anything that would make a good fixture to my own arm and restrict my use of it.
