with Virginia Verran we were invited to not talk about our work but to listen to what others said first it was interesting and helpful to hear how people, with no prompt, how they read the piece the words that came up – memory, nostalgic, uncanny, adult/child distortion Is it a child or an adult?

Have spent time editing and making the sculpture to project film into for the 2nd year show at the Poly I suggested painting the sculpture but Lucy thought it was more appealing in its natural state I don’t want to leave it as bare wood so considered ways that would work with the Poly ( […]
NEED TO ADD FILM i was feeling very unconfident and amateur about the work that I had done leading up to this tutorial – I felt I had failed in some way to achieve the work I wanted. I made a conscious effort to try to use the tutorial for group feedback to help get […]

What is my intention what do I want the viewer to experience – this is what I should use to guide the work Project onto/into houses/babies don’t worry about being cheesy! Project woods onto the dolls Collage – don’t all seem to sink with the other work I do – I understand this but I […]
Key points and things to think about Woods – think about bringing the woods inside – project images onto objects of print out large, or collage – is the plastic wrap important? – I will start to look at ways to bring the woods inside in some way by way of projection and installation – […]
Mainly discussed the time lapse video of the installation in the wood – here are some points to think about think about date, time of day looks like drawing tight, taught works loose film looks tacky – agreed it doesn’t work – looks too much like the material woods – timeless, historical, melancholy, no time […]
