Week 11: Monday 2nd December 2013



PE Presentations:  It was a fantastic resource to see and explain the progress of my project and the journey I have been on so far to my other peers some whom knew my work and some whom did not. Another positive was the feedback and ideas given to me from the other students from artist research, to techniques, and galley visits that are currently happening.

 There has been a main focus on the live project, my samples (images from last week) are very vulgar and inappropriate, although I am trying to achieve the same texture and emotion that is within my collages and photographs  the textile samples for the stitch LIVE PROJECT are weak and not thought out properly. The problem lies in my material choice, and as with my installations and collages I take time to source the correct materials, I need to source the correct materials for my textile samples. 
Running alongside my material investigation for the LIVE PROJECT, I am still visiting and recording new places from the airport to the Trafford centre, to Salford Quays. I am recording these places, by a diary of notes and emotions and photographs.

I have been combining text and image from my photographs of the Air Raid shelters, to evoke place rather than image. The text I have chosen is from wartime posters inspired by my research into the Dada Movement combining text and image in relation to the space. The text and image combined definitely create a place rather than an image; this is something I will also be investigating further, combining my first hand research images with second-hand text.
