I have enjoyed reading through the blogs this morning. It is interesting how several lines, written by others, have link up with seemingly random questions in my own head, giving momentum to my thoughts.
John Harris’s opener, ‘What does John Harris want to make work about?’ has an echo; so what is it I want to make work about?. For my first level assessment I filled the room with work and was asked what it was about. I could not answer; it wasn’t clear to me at all. Three years on, and post dissertaton, the answer is much clearer or should I say nearer.
Angela Dow-Wright’s unravelling of her personal influences scratch at my own reaccuring themes that beg more investigation. Objects, colour and experiences that I had thought to have a narrative role in my work, now appear to be related to visual perception and kinaesthesia.
Ryan Hughes mid-point review experience of installing work too high reminds me of a similar occasion and his consideration of viewer interaction with his work brings me back to, how is what I want to make achieving my aims?
I shall go and reflect on articulating my practice and perhaps select some work for a mini retrospective.
Thanks everyone, I was going to write about my fantastic trip to New York, but this has been a genuinely valuable experience. NYC later in the week.
