I have watched some Tarkovsky films over the Summer and have been really taken with The Mirror. The imagery is beautiful and stark. There is a beauty in the creation of layers of scenes of fragmented memory and fact within a dreamlike film which is non-linear in time that is something that I would like to […]
I was unable to gain access to the installations rooms – so had to take all the work home and set up a room to document as best as I could I think it would be so much better with a proper room in complete darkness to document and experiment with the projection I made […]
I drew the woods from images I had taken, onto paper with charcoal and practiced again with projecting film onto and through the drawings the charcoal was too heavy for the film to show through properly – will revisit when I have more time spent whole day re-filming the projection onto the dollshouse taking into […]
this is the work that I have presented for assessment Shul, confession number one and number two are all objects that have film as part of the piece. Shul – is projected from the back – click on title to take you to page with film confession number one is projected from the back and […]
Exploring other woods with a chair I took part of my home outside into the woods to explore imagery – the woods I normally would film in are currently off bounds as they are felling trees. The woods have to feel right – there has to be an instinctual reaction for me to want to […]
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 […]
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 […]
This was one of the hardest installs to do. I knew which space to work with and wanted to try an area that was more manageable so that I could concentrate on structure of the install rather than just the line. Although the space looks easier to work over, I found it really tricky. The […]
I have begun to look at artists who work in environments or create environments I watched Forest, Field & Sky: Art out of Nature and how these six artists relate to nature such as Andy Goldsworthy, James Turrell, David Nash (tree circle), Julie Brook (fire pits in water) and Richard Long (path) Although I find their work […]
