As the degree show soon approaches, I find myself constanly thinking about my project, and the journey it has gone through over the last year.
Looking back, I now realise how literally I was trying to portray my messages, and after conversations with my lecturers, I have realised that I need to be a bit more metaphorical and symbolical. But why is this?
I think this could be linked with giving my audience too much information, and making it too obvious to understand, and therefore leaving no room for them to find there own meanings in my work.

Daniel Lobb
“Lobb also creates an indoor vertical edible garden, visitors are encouraged to play a role in its life by watering and nuturing the plants, introducing new species and occassionally removing those that have reached the end of their life cycle.”

After hearing about Lobb’s work, I started to wonder what it was that made this piece so successful. Even though the concept is a relativly literal one, encouraging the audience to be actively involved in the experience of gardening, I believe that this is made into art as it has been placed into the right context – the gallery space.
