Studio Practice 2 – Mid Module Feedback

A quick discussion with Tutor has given the go ahead to continue with the project.  Everything seems to be on track.  Whoopee!

Studio Practice 2 - Blogging
Tutor, Paul informed me that this blog has been moved from alumni to the current list of BAD3 students.  The blog will be submitted to the external examiners.  

Studio Practice 2 – External Examiners
Talking about external examiners, the word is they are visiting the Campus on Thursday 5th March.  The BAD3 group were notified of the visit and a schedule will be sent out via e-mail.


Studio Practice 2 – Cobweb Felt Layering Photography Research


 Feelings
Layers of Positivity

Cobweb felting layering photography explores visual and texture imagery as a response to this project’s statement of intent.  As research for presentation sourced “A Glimpse into the world of Princess Su Su at Hove Museum”.  http://www.culture24.org.uk/art/art18678

Princess Su Su unnoticed and invisible is similar to memory loss.  The memories trapped inside a person with memory loss are often unnoticed and invisible.   

The nature of the Studio Practice 2 project will be inspiring and upbeat engagement in a conversation that will raise issues of memory loss.  Non-confrontational imagery will reach more with familiar family photographs with unique stories intertwining our universal memories. 
Evaluation
 
By capturing photographic images under pinned cobweb felting I will convey the layers of memories that are woven into our lives.  A glimpse of their identity will give a sense of place and self.  The layers of mixed media and textiles will add composition weight. 

The context of memory loss given added meaning by giving visual layers.  By placing photograph imagery with other objects I will add to the composition story.  The layer of photographic imagery will relate to the person by filling in the blanks of memory loss with their own context.   A celebration of memory loss found with photographic imagery.  A communication of memories and identity. 

Studio Practice 2 - Photomontage Research


Feelings
By playing around with images, capture images that reflect history swatches of past and present woven into our lives.  Iconic image of a familiar photograph interpret universally across cultures. 

Evaluation
Photomontage layers multiples swatches of past and present with a triptych of baby, child and adult. Layers of multiples will amplify the composition.  Photo montage utilized for political agitation, protest and propaganda.
 
Further research of William Shakespeare’s 7 Ages of Man and Gustav Klimt’s 3 Ages of Woman as background support.

Collage conceals, reveals, subtract and adds layers.  Photomontage is a symbolic pathway with random fragments of life’s memories.  Ghosts of memory loss.  Viewer constructs their own meaning based on their personal history. A common connection between people.

Studio Practice 2- Book Research
 Memory of memories” by Josef Herman.  The Glasgow drawings 1940-43 “I could see was, what my memory wanted me to see, a fabric of distant life which was non the less part of me” 
Photo-montages of the Nazi Period” 1st published in GB by the Gordon Fraser Gallery Ltd London & Bedford in association with Universe books – John Heartfield 1891 – 1968 pioneered photo montage.   
Studio Practice 2 - Sound story
Sound story layer of lost memory recalled in photographic imagery. The three photographic images layered with 3 audio stories. The layer of sound stories conveyed with QR coding attached to website. 
sheenartu.wix.com/sheenarts#!audio/czyg
   
The audio story with QR coding will use personal words reinforced with photographic imagery.  The weakness of QR coding is access via a smart phone is required.  This weakness limits communication of artwork but can become a metaphor for memory loss communication.
