Description
Scouting
potential Exhibition sites
Scouting the college for potential sites
that can accommodate my exhibition pieces.
The exhibition pieces will include:
·
The hanging embroidery
·
3 floating acyclic mounts
·
2 hanging 3 dimensional
folding memory books
·
1 storage box with
sketchbooks and research folder
·
A plinth to place the
Alzheimer’s Scotland information leaflets and my business cards.
After
discussion with the tutor I proposed a perspective site. Since this discussion I have received the college
floor map that indicates were the various courses are allocated. The perspective site is not included within
the floor map.
I will need to discuss the possibilities of
acquiring permission to use the perspective site and/or reconsider another
location.

Alzheimer’s
Scotland
As part of my exhibition I wish to raise
awareness of memory loss. I have
received a supply of Alzheimer’s Scotland leaflets to distribute to the public
who attend the exhibition.
Statement
of Assessment
Downloaded the PDF format and I have begun
to draft a copy based on the review of this blog. The tutor recommended that I
attend the PDP class for the Statement of Assessment tutorial.
Feeling
The final couple of weeks are speeding by
and the nerves are jangling. The time
plan is on track and my trusty notebook with to do lists is comforting.
The drafting of the Statement of
Assessment is in progress. Review of the
project materials will be the basis of the Statement:
Module handbook aims and learning outcomes,
blog reflections, sketchbooks, research folder, resolved artworks for presentation
Evaluation
Finalised the textiles and mixed media
artwork ready to attach onto Summerset paper.
The summerset paper will be mounted onto the Acrylic Mounts by the
picture framer to ensure professional standard of presentation.
The various layers of textiles and mixed
media are hand stitched together. The time
and patience to hand stich each layer ensured accuracy. A high quality of hand stitching was achieved. By using the same sewing thread as the hanging
tapestry embroidery I have maintained an aesthetically matching piece that
links both artworks.
The link between embroidery tapestry and the
textile and mixed media artworks has been given more emphasis by hand stitching
a layer of random embroidery stitching onto the textile and mixed media pieces that
matches the hanging tapestry.
This layer of matching medium will give
the presentation a cohesive appearance and achieve a professional standard
presentation.
Analysis
Vertical
Layout - Sense of place
A layer of muslin textile with an image
transferred montage of void photographic imagery attached with random machine
stitched embroidery via hand stitching and masking tape.
The size of Acetate was analysed and evaluated. The selection of A4 sized imagery of void photographic
gives focus to the void outline imagery and will reflect the outlined figure within the embroidery tapestry.
Vertical
Lay out - Sense of Self
A layer of paper with full photographic
imagery has attached a layer of random stitched embroidery that matches the embroidery
tapestry. The layer was attached via hand stitching and
masking tape.
The layer of muslin with image
transferred photographic imagery has a void of imagery extracted to allow the lower
layers of imagery to be revealed.
The acetate size was evaluated and
analysis of the overall aesthetic was considered. The selection of a smaller acetate imagery was
to match the paper layer of photographic imagery that contained the same
imagery.
Horizontal layout - Sound Story
The random embroidery thread will be the background
for the 3 mixed media and textile piece.
The random embroidery thread matches the embroidery tapestry and the
other 2 textiles and mixed media pieces.
This piece will have a horizontal layout
compared to the other 2 textile and mixed media pieces vertical layout.
The piece has 3 photographic images with
layers of textiles and papers that have been placed in a central position
within the embroidery threads. The 3 photographic
images with layers of textiles and papers was pinned into their central position. The sewing machine attached the photographic imagery
onto the embroidery thread. The stitched
thread matched the embroidery tapestry ensured a cohesive appearance throughout
the whole presentation.
The inclusion of QR Coding was withdrawn
after evaluation and analysis. The QR
coding distracted and overwhelmed the 3 photographic images with layers of
textiles and paper.
The QR coding imagery will be reduced and
attached to the wall. The wall placement
of the QR coding was considered as a vinyl display directly below the floating
mount of the sound story. The placement of
the QR coding would match the story of each photograph.
However financial restrictions have
restricted the use of vinyl display.
Alternative solution of mount card positioned directly below the
floating mount.
Conclusion
The time taken to ensure a cohesive
presentation is well spend and the time plan allowed extra allocation to ensure the weakness of my previous
presentations were eliminated.

artwork
