Evaluation of overall Practice project:
The project as a whole has been challenging but also enjoyable. I have found it challenging as the project has been over a long period and although normal to experience highs and lows throughout it is something I have personally struggled with. Some weeks would be successful and others not so due to lack of material knowledge / lack of materials and specific research, it has been important to evaluate each week in order to problem solve and move the project forward. I hope my enjoyment within research and experimenting really comes across, reading, finding out about new artists, designers and theorists helps me communicate my concept, and the ideas are endless which I gain from all the research.
The minor project, was the first five weeks, in which I researched, gathered materials and started initial sampling, although all of these elements I have continued with throughout the live project and major project, it was important to have the initial five weeks as the minor project to enable the most of my time. From the images below it is clear how far my project has evolved, the research and experimentation has enabled me to create end samples which are of high quality and show time and progress.
Participating in the Live Paris Project, and gathering a work placement at Harvey Nichols Manchester, has enabled me to gain confidence within my work. By experiencing a job in which I would like a career, but by market research and contacting independent galleries, it has confirmed where my current practice context is.
For unit X I have ideas to continue with similar concepts of space place and revealing and concealing. I aim to combine fabric and stitch samples with more technical installation work.
I would like to finish this project with inspirational photographs from my work from Paris. Focusing on form, colour, texture and surface.

Gallery Visit to Manchester Art Gallery
An inspirational exhibition to visit, from her use of materials, film and the concept of time, Joana Vasconcelos leaves the viewer waiting for something to happen, the idea of playing with time leaves the viewer in the space of the installation for longer. The element I will take from her work is that nothing is permanent and the idea of the unknown leaves the participant waiting and emotionally responding to the work.
