Last week our year group had peer group crits. We each in turn talked about our progress – one month in to the module – Resolution of Pracrice. We answered questions from our tutor and fellow students and in this process considered our work from new perspectives and developed new ideas.
I listened to my peers as they talked about their work and motivations and I feel enriched and moved by their stories and integrity. Afterwards we continued our conversations – it feels great to share!
This is a point in time to savour – to enjoy and also to respect this privileged position – this is space for us to be heard and supported, enabled to develop our practice.
I’m at a point with my work that I have got to the crux of an idea and am clear about my working methods, materials and processes employed to express this idea.
I have embraced the idea of failing, of returning to the work and persevering, and am engaged as much with the process as the thought of the outcome.
My work is about loss or perhaps about the lost – as this contains the notion of things being returned and found.
