It’s been a over a month since my last post. Blogging just didn’t seem right in that time and I was struggling with my ideas and how I felt about my work, and I don’t feel comfortable coming across as an unsure artist. It’s the nature of the MA though, and through converstations with some other artists and bloggers, it’s something that I guess we all think about. I feel my artwork, career and life are all in a strange transition phase at the moment.
In terms of the course, we have 9 weeks left or something like that. The last assessment posed more questions. Our dissertations are due in 1 month, and then it’s a case of moving into our exhibition spaces and making the work and setting up the show for it’s September opening.
My assessment piece of work which is in the photo, whilst unresolved and an experiment, has opened up possibilites for free standing structures. It has a decrepid appearence and my use of photocopies has a billboard-like quality. My feedback suggested that I am struggling to decide wether I’m a painter or an object maker. Perhaps I need to consider form and materiality rather than an image. The best bit about my feedback was that I have approached my work with ambition and openness all term and that I have continued to ask a range of questions about form and materiality.
