• found that the day was way out of my comfort zone
  • put myself with people who I hadn’t worked with before and because they interested me and I thought they would be really interesting to work with.
  • we brainstormed colloboratively, recorded sounds, horrible sounds, eating, cutting, stamping, cutlery, swearing, popping balloons, ripping, shaking
  • we all tried ideas that we wouldn’t try on our own – I would feel too stupid on my own
  • something simple could be so beautiful and full of effect
  • the editing was really useful as Susanne knew the process really well
  • Crit – I found this very upsetting due to an incident that happened to one group – I had to walk out an take time to breathe
  • From the work that Gillian showed – i particularly was interested in  – Marcus Coates and Diane Thater

Thoughts generated by today

  • talking painting?? – talk the text that I write – practice – distort – film etc – could insert audio behind painting  – repetitive to viewer – or backwards – speeded up?
  • film children – get other people to recreate the scenes –
  • video Teddy – sound, song, him singing
  • film me massaging, squeezing using blood, paint
  • recreate anxiety feelings – naked figure in foetal position, rocking, squeezing, pinching, scraping – filthy, dirty nails
  • road kill – take photographs with people wailing next to it – like its a family pet, child
  • photograph weapons used in horror films – grater from Housebound film etc
