Assessments done and today I’ve been taking down my work and trying to get it back to my flat, unexpectedly this has risen some interesting points in my practice.
I’ve always been aware that my works are temporary but today helped me to realise that my works are temporary solutions to a situation not completely temporary themselves – there are objects left after they have served their functions and i need to consider this further. Where do i store them? Is it important for me to keep them at all or is the documentation enough for the work to have existed?
One thing i plan to do over summer to test their lasting presence in space is to put works in to sites for extended periods of time and document the effect, for example i will put my first portable object for moving over into Napton skate park where the local skateboarders can use it. I also plan on putting my signs in to various ares which i have not decided upon yet.
I am also about to start a placement at Bournville Collage where i will be tutoring BTEC students on their FMP’s which will be interesting and may also present an opportunity for me to put my work somewhere on campus.
