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...

Teacher training seminar - Notes and Reflection L012

A lot of what was said in this seminar was information i already knew but i thought that it would be best still to attended just in case they had any new information of if there maybe a different direction into teaching that i haven't come across. I kind of realised this seminar was more of a push to apply for teacher training through NORFOLK TEACHER TRAINING  CENTRE as they were the spokes people so they were trying to sell their company which then did make the seminar based solely around them. If i hadnt of been doing my own research before and knowing that there is other opinions for me out there then i guess it would persuade me to go with them. However knowing the knowledge i know i didn't really see myself wanting to sign up to this specifically. Getting into teaching through placement  Need to get a QTS but no necessary to get PGCE - QTS school based experience  was to get into teaching by looking at get into teaching - UCAS Helpful to get some school experi...
