i have been looking at Christian Boltanski, his themes like memory, life and death and the instability of existense is something that greatly interests me and inspires me with my work, and are themes thati have always worked with. Gymnasium Chases 1991, is a piece of work by Boltanski that interests me. the idea of multiple portrait pictures of an enitre class is alost everlasting bringing these people back into existence. that is something i want to do. almost bring things back to life, the forgotton memorys.
my most recent work has consisted of a square format as has most of my work in this course. my most recent works however are a square peice of patterned mostly dated patterened paper, with old family images on. some of which are different sizes perhaps to small or different compostitions. However recently i have found myself at a standstill. i feel that i no longer can progress with the work i have been doing becuase i have exhausted the size ans style.
As i find myself at a standstill, i begin to look at the surroundings of my life, things that inspire me which can be anything that speaks to me, such as a picture i find intriguing, and song that speaks to me, a letter, the way the day feels, it really can be anything.
