Week 5: Monday 21st October

Week 5: Monday 21st October 2013

 It’s important to feel uncomfortable, if I'm doing something I'm unsure about then it is a push in the right direction. The deadline is fast approaching for the dissertation and it is important I have been planning and splitting my time properly between practical work and essay based reading and research. They both aid each other and it is something I am immensely interested in, I do feel my practical work has slowed down a little due to other deadlines and I am focused on material manipulation and three-dimensional building. I intend to experiment and play, with materials until the draft essay deadline.

In addition, I interviewed the curator from Manchester Art Gallery on Tuesday 22nd October. The ideas and answers she gave me, were brilliant and very installation based.  Although originally for my dissertation, she has now given me some ideas for my own project and at first, I was set on pushing the boundaries of textiles but now I feel I can experiment with the  boundaries of installation art.
For example: a public art gallery has people visit that may not have experienced installation art before.          


‘Within installation art you the audience, are the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle, there is not a beginning or an end; the journey through installation art is personal and can be different for everyone.’ (Jesson 2013).
