BA2b Reflection & Intention BA3a

Reflecting back on the second half of last year indicates a turning point in my practise. For the most of the year I seemingly meander with no definitive coherence, yet the turning point to me exposed itself during the exhibition at Firstsite. The silent critic of my artwork indicated to me that i had accomplished what i set out to do and that was to inform without thrusting the knowledge upon someone. I want to allow my audience to impose their own interpretation even if they may be alternative to the intention. If the audience is raising questions then i'm doing it right. This act resulted in my piece Forget-Me-Not informing, without telling, in a poetic manner characteristically of organic forms. The critic also lead me to investigate plant origin, history and anything factually interesting that caught my attention. I find myself getting lost in research, gaining as much knowledge on the topics as i possibly can manage. This often stops me from creating physical bodies of work which i must steer away from this year, so to have an equal balance of research and physical work.

I intent for this current year to carry on with flauering and use the natural forms around me to inform my practise. Possible areas of interest:

Natural forms made from man made materials
Contrasting delicate and hard materials
Plant textures
Plant history - Origin
Plants with medical properties

Abramovic Case Study - Research & Evaluation

Performance artist Marina Abramovic adopts a territory where both audience and artist coincide throughout the entirety of her performance. Abramovic’s early career commenced during the 1970’s an era where performance art was ridiculed, only fuelling her aspirations to prove critics wrong. Abramovic’s rhythm series, which constitutes of five individual performances from 1973 to 1974, scrutinizes the tensions between abandonment and control. At the forefront of Abramovic’s rhythm series is Rhythm 10 (Abramovic, M. 1973). Rhythm 10 consisted of Abramovic recording herself stabbing between the fingers of her left hand with 10 knives, as fast as she could; changing knives every time she cut herself. When all knives were used Abramovic would rewind the tape and playing it back, she then began re-performing the actions to the rhythm of the tape. Abramovic wilfully or not, subjected her performance to a rhythm over which she had limited control. Abramovic claims each cut manifesting itse...

Professional Photography (Outcomes) - Documentation & Evaluation

The bellow images are the outcome from the professional shoot i did with a photographer. These images have now allowed me to have material for my Instagram, website, promotional material such as business cards or postcards and images for my documentation book. We also photographed my ginkgo leaves that i produced last unit this was a request from the student who i was collaborating with that designed my documentation book - they required ginkgo leaves with a plain white background. I'm most pleased with the images of my submission for the bishops art prize the contrasting monochrome works so well together which wasn't something i had trailed until the day of the shoot.
