26th September- Reflections
26th September
Reflections
Today saw the Kick start project take shape within our group studio space. We arranged to meet there in the morning to get as much done on that day as possible. This was due to the fact we were all excited to get going with our own work and research. However, although we may have began the day indulging in our own ideas and concepts, by the end we had fully grasped the task for the first week. (see full detail reflections on practical aspects in last blog post).
The group work and the group tutorial did however remind me of the very liberal world that fine art is situated. Each individuals ideas and concepts stand in their own right. However, when explaining my concept I struggled to fully have the bravery to explain. It is not hat others should change what they are doing within the art sphere, it is meanly that they should be doing it in a conscious manner. This may include producing less waste or using a less toxic paint. All aspects of our luxurious lives should not be costing others theirs. I feel that when my own practice is more clearly defined both physically and on paper, then I will be able to start including others in more of what I do.
The day spent in the studio also seemed to get everyone very hopeful for the possibilities that the second year will bring. I have been contemplating this a lot over the past few days and plan to take as many opportunities as possible. This includes following reading lists more closely and also being more critical of how my written and visual work slot in together. The use of a ranging media is always something I have been interested in, this stems from the desire for the work to read/appeal to as many people as possible. The aesthetic of some work may connect that viewer to the written side, yet the writing may also allow the viewer to become more inspired by the less rigid expression of a visual aid. These visual aids will be directly from my own experimentation with different materials and methods. These experimentation's are unplanned and often impulsive. This is what to me labels them as a creative relief and a un-categories representation of my thoughts and feeling at that time.
This concept of time is also of much interest to me as the work I produce will progress over time. The work is likely to alter and shape with me much as my writing will as new information becomes available to me. This is just another aspect of why the visual and crafting aspect is of great importance, it will help my creative mind grow and therefore allow it to view situations differently than how an arts history writer may write or a psychologist/English student.
What I am currently struggling with is how I will present my work in the time before the publication is finalised. Exhibitions and shows are a vital way to gather feedback and move forward. Before the publication is finalised, how will the work sit in a gallery setting? what impact, if any will that have on the publication?. The desire to have my writing incorporated with my work could be powerful, this may come in the form of audio readings or words printed on a wall. These are obstacles I am yet to solve within my practice.
