Thinking Further

Thinking more so into the presentation of a future exhibition, I will continue with the works and Ideas I have presented so far although I would like to look into sound and maybe animation. I think this addition would add a different dimension to the ideas and definitely work well together as one piece.

Assessment Point Two

 For my second Assessment I presented a selection of my more recent pieces together in the corner of a room. I purposely presented these works in different ways and levels; giving the viewer the opportunity to walk around the works (piled in a corner with sections attached to the wall, hanging together from a fitting on the ceiling, placed on the floor, bunched together on a 'plinth', hung individually from the ceiling and simply attached to the wall). I like how they all work together, giving a better understanding to the subject matter, separately using colour and selected text and imagery.
I would have liked to have presented a large A0 colour print out of a singular photograph of myself on the wall with these, (which would of had sections stripped away; hiding the image almost) but due to printing difficulties I couldn’t. I like the contrast between the 2D and 3D aspects of these works and I think the addition of this image would have given a completely different outcome to the presentation; showing a more obvious approach to the suggestiveness of the others.

Hanging the strips

Continuing with my strips of text, In this piece I again hand wrote the words which came to mind on my subject matter at that point in my development. Inspired by Nicholas Hlobo who filled a room with colourful ribbons hanging from a false ceiling, for the Liverpool Biennial Touched exhibition.

I decided on hanging my strips of text individually in a row. I like the combination between the order of the strips at the top of the piece and the chaotic pile on the floor; linking well with my previous works and ideas.
If this idea is to be taken further, I would fill a room with these hanging strips of text, leading the viewer to walk trough the piece giving a feeling of frustration and claustrophobia, (Relating to how I feel about my subject matter in everyday life) whilst they take in what the work represents as they move closer and read the text written on the strips.
