Since my initial thoughts, they have expectedly changed. I am going to look into The Uncanny, and the creation of it. I am going to stem questions from this to why artists make the uncanny, when it is a natural and accidental occurrence.
In my proposal i will outline what the uncanny is, find a good definition and description. I will then look at in terms of its historical context. I will then place my view upon it. I will then outline how i'm going to look into it and it has been embedded into art. Artists whom i shall look at are Gregory Crewdson. The film director David Lynch. And a third artist, maybe textual based or a painter? ..I will then propose questions like: Why is the uncanny important? Why are we drawn into it? why artists create the uncanny? Why are our attentions drawn to it and become mesmerised? "will explore through Crewdson with particular focus to 'deja vu'..." etc. I now need to start looking for a couple of books and journal articles for each artist.
