Work book check
I need to be more reflective and not descriptive in my work, i think i should go back through all my old post about my work and update them so that i critically analyse them in more detail. Also Clair said it would be helpfully to my work if where i have taken direct influence from artist i put photos of my work next to them so that i can compair them and analyse them together. Clair thinks that this will help my talk about my work better and analyse it better. I also talked about a lot of my theories and views on art i need to look over how and why i produce work. I need to look in to transformation and illusion of materials, questioning the nature of what i am using and why. Is my work tactile or ritualistic, do i want it to engage the audience to interact. Is it important to my work how i make it, look in to methods and control, is there a tension between control and letting go. is the tactility of my work and the fact that i want to engage people an underlying philosophy. Look in to Karla Black in reference to this. Investigate further methods of making which could become fundamental to my practice. Do i want to bring life to my sculptures by freezing moments or having them oozing or changing. Look at Fischli and Weiss for the use of illusion thought their materials, also Damian ortega who talks a lot about moments in time. Why do you like the materials you use for example, expanding foam, ts not usually sen, its a gap filler. Do i use materials that support each other, why do i like to combine materials and not have them on their own is this important. Talk about colour, do i want to be true to materials, why , talk about sculptural concerns of artists in reference to colour, artist like Craigg, Ciro and Deacon. The expanding foam is a amorphous foam, do i like this research into what this is. Discuss abstraction, not knowing what things are going to look like, how they will result. Do i like to communicate mystery and curiosity through my work, why, are they now main concerns. Also talk about your working environment and if this impacts your work.
