I feel that the large collages have become more successful by removing aspects that were perhaps more obvious or not helping. I have steered away from repeating the tile pattern and incorporated the pipes and portals but transferred the woods into the imagery. One portal is now a door – a door is used in […]
Below is a bibliography of some books that I am currently looking at to give you an idea of my current and future thinking Symbols of the soul : therapy and guidance through fairy tales / Birgitte Brun, Ernst W. Pedersen, Marianne Runberg ; foreword by Murray Cox. Transmitter/ receiver: the persistence of collage Collage […]
I felt so relaxed on this install and found that through practice I have been able to make considered visual decisions that look more successful than previous installs. There was a real flow of line which felt more natural amongst the setting. As I was working the material moved and wobbled with the trees and […]
I had originally decided to get two large photo etchings of the woods. I discussed this with Lucy and I had set out the above images for her opinion on which ones to choose. She suggested that they would probably work better as a series of smaller etchings – I decided to etch the above […]
The Wellcome Collection This is a beautiful and sensitive exhibition. It is quite moving and evocative with a variety of works and historical information on Bedlam, it’s origins and journey. The first room contains an installation by Eva Kotatkova. She describes her approach as ‘archaeological’. From her frequent visits and research trips to a psychiatric […]
I have been thinking about ways in which to bring the woods inside. I have tried ways to project onto made dolls houses and objects and am currently trying to find a way to project into a barrel and larger boxes so that the viewer can use a periscope to look in to see the […]
Midori Harima I came across Harima’s work and found it quite interestingly disturbing. I am enjoying the collage work that I am doing and want to push it further – the use of real 2d photographic images manipulated onto 3d figures transform the figures into drawings with disturbances and a glitchy feel about them. Mariele Neudecker […]
What has come out of the work in the woods is the importance of the imagery that has come out of it – I have started playing and distorting with images of the woods and the installations creating new environments and spaces I would like to do something with the images as I feel they […]
Began the year with the focus of play – pure, unconscious creativity. The everyday continued to be in the work without thinking – drains, pipes, cutlery and the domestic but by choosing the woods as a place to install and play I reflected to see meaning in what I was doing. Began to look at […]
I want to explore through play with materials and space. To create environments and spaces. I want my process to rely on muscle memory, stored memories, attachment to compositions and patterns. To create with unconscious determination. Considering the term ‘Mediascape’, I chose Yayoi Kusama as she is difficult to define by category or classification. She […]
