It is the week before my final assessment of my 2nd year and i have been reviewing what i have actually done this year as well as trying to set up my work for the assessment.
My biggest problem has been space, I made my work in the courtyard and was told shortly after that i couldn’t leave it there due to health and safety (which is really quite frustrating) which i guess is something I’m going to have to come to terms with for the future if i am going to be making works for public sites. However the time my work was outside for allowed me to view it as a whole for the first time which enabled me to see it was too tall and open – i intended it to propose a new method of outdoor temporary living but very quickly realised it provided no privacy and very little comfort.
When i got the work back to my space in its collapasable form i propped the roofing up against the wall and realised how this referenced hard edge paintings which is something i have not been hugley aware of in my work before. This positioning of the work also opened up new sculptural ideas to me as i realised if you went behind it all the comfort and privacy that was lacking outside had become present.
I am looking forward to my feed back so i can start planning fully for my 3rd year although i have a fairly good idea of where my work is going and some of the things i would like to try.
