So here we are, where does the time go?
Neg1, the first major practical module has been and gone, the assessment went well (subject to moderation). I’ve just e-mailed the re-draft of my dissertation and yesterday I presented the proposal for neg2, the final practical module of the year/degree.
The proposal is a rather nebulous affair which aims to continue the multi-layered, multi-media approach of neg1. I’ve been intrigued by the way different media and processes can suggest the passage of time and take material out of the realm of documentary and into the realm of imagination and memory, as a direct result of my dialogue with Richard Taylor in the blogger profiles.
Initially I’ll be working in two areas: I enjoyed the more traditional drawings I completed at the end of gimme shelter so I’d like to keep that going, but I’ve also started editing together some video footage which looks potentially interesting
On the professional developement front, I’ve been cataloguing work, updating CV and statement and building a digital portfolio to try and move the work into the big wide world. I’ve applied to an open printmaking competition and am fine tuning the applications for two further major competitions.
Finally, we’re as a group, finalising ideas around catalogues etc for the degree show. To catalogue or not to catalogue? That is the question.
