I’m feeling really positive about my work at the moment. However; we have cross year crits next week. They are an opportunity to see what is happening throughout the years and to get feedback on your work from people who have not seen it before. They happen every year, and every year it has been a rush to get work together. The problem I am having is working out how to get my work to a finished standard. And how to show it in a crit when I cannot talk (this is how our crits run, the artist is not allowed to speak until the end). I am going to use the cardboard space that I have designed as a starting point. I am undecided as to whether to put work in it to be looked at or to get people to crit the space itself. This is particularly after yesterday’s tutorial.
I have begun to build the space, today I marked it out on the floor and began painting the cardboard for the walls, I am only painting them white for now, I am going to get samples to try out colours. It looks a lot bigger in real life. Planning it out has also allowed me to think about some of my other ideas that I mentioned yesterday. Particularly in relation to my floor plans. There is something really interesting in seeing them marked out on the floor in real scale, and I may consider this as an alternative to physically building the space. My heads a little all over the place, hopefully when the structure goes up tomorrow I can begin to sort out what I want to do.
