After having been in my degree space for two solid weeks I finally decided on the final arrangement a couple of days ago, it isn’t easy for me to make a decision and any moment of satisfaction with a work is fleeting, I think this shows in the transience of my practice!
It has been really interesting gathering together all of my contextual work for assessment, it has meant going through lots of things that I had totally forgotten about and with the knowledge I have gained in the meantime, noticing stronger connections and influences. For instance, in 2011 I went to the Modern British Sculpture exhibition at RA, looking back at it suddenly made me remember walking around looking at the work and how captivated I was by the room that displayed Hepworth and Moore sculptures, I had been reading about how they had been placed to ‘speak’ to one another and it was the first time I had really been able to see how powerful and interesting this idea could be. This idea is one that has stuck with me and I have become increasingly interested in the dialogues that could occur between different objects I place in a space.
