At the end of last year, Alice gave us a task to create an A3 size board containing references, text, quotes and examples of images that we were interested in related to our year-long project.
My year long project so far has been a proper mixed bag, some print destruction, some negative distressing, some architecture, some portraiture so I put three boards together using my computer and PowerPoint along with the graphics table so I could scrawl directly onto the digital page.
Sarah x 2 came to talk to us today about their practice and how they are better individual artists when working together. Oh and lots of food discussions too.
The lat Tuesday before Christmas and with some colour printing complete I stood and had an informal chat with Niki that was very enlightening.
Research is an important part of my degree course and it’s not something that comes easy to me. See how I get on looking into the work of Alma Haser.
This week is a review week of Semester One and all the work we’ve created up until this point. What do I need to improve upon, what can I do next to try different things? See what Alice and I talked about.
Night & Day in Tokyo and other cities around the world. My work led me to look at work by Liam Wong and Masataka Nakano who are both extraordinary photographers.
Today we talked about how work can be re-interpreted and used to make original pieces of art. On top of this we learnt how to properly reflect on our work..
Time to do some more printing ready for some chopping up and a tutorial chat about why I love breaking things open…
Photograms and Alternative Prints? What could possibly go wrong in my journey to take on two of Alice’s small challenges in the name of exploring Materiality.
Seminar today was about Materiality, Purists, Pictorialists and a bit about Academic Integrity and Referencing. Some questions and a couple of challenges to complete.
As part of my Full Year Project we sat around and chatted about each other’s work in a tutorial session. Here is my first group of test prints that I chopped up and reassembled. Why did I do this?
Time for a chat about ideas for my full year project, and also a little bit of getting back into the swing of Colour Enlarging and printing.
A trip to London’s THe Photographer’s Gallery in October for the Chris Killip Retrospective Exhibition. Should you go?
