“Dear All For 1.3 students this week there are silent crits taking place for which the 1.3 cohort are split into two groups. A silent crit allows you to gain feedback on work without the viewer having any preconceived knowledge or information. The student will share one image/video/piece of work without any additional interpretation or verbalContinue reading “16 May 2024: Silent Crit for 1.3 Cohort”

5 May 2024: Artwork: The Cyborg
Whist creating a previous artwork entitled The Enchanment of the Anthropocene, cyborg-like creatures began to emerge, seemingly willing themselves into the painting and the narrative. It’s therefore been a foregone conclusion that these creatures would evolve into sculpture prototypes. I am reading a lot about Darwin’s Decent with Modification which states that humans – and allContinue reading “5 May 2024: Artwork: The Cyborg”
Unit 1: Week 22: One-to-one Tutorial with Dr Michele Whiting
I had another wonderful one-to-one tutorial with Michele Whiting. I find that one-to-one contact time with supervisors is where I get the most out of this course. It is fantastic to receive one-to-one feedback and advice that is tailored to me, my artwork and my research focus. Overall feedback notes from tutorial discussion I spentContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 22: One-to-one Tutorial with Dr Michele Whiting”
Unit 1: Week 20: Practice-based Research: Investigation 2
When Things Go Wrong: Some art pieces fail abysmally. But I guess that’s part of the point of the Practice-based research process. This piece entitled ‘Metatron’s Cube’ forms part of my investigations into whether, when using elemental materials* and/or when making art around the theme of interconnectedness, this makes the artist feel more connected. I startedContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 20: Practice-based Research: Investigation 2”
Unit 1: Week 19: Documenting Practice (Sound)
I’ve filmed a fair amount of my process for various presentations, but I’ve never really paid much attention to the sounds in my studio or the sounds of the making. This was an interesting element – something I might consider when making future videos of my progress/practice.
Unit 1: Week 19: Ideas after Asynchronous Seminar
The provocation “Artistic practice is inherently uncertain, the whole process being a kind of faltering journey from there being nothing to there being something. If it was possible to lay out a set of ideas and tools that would fit together easily to comprise a piece of work then not only would art be aContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 19: Ideas after Asynchronous Seminar”
Unit 1: Week 19: One-to-One Tutorial with Dr Michele Whiting
I had a very productive one-to-one Tutorial meeting with Michele Whiting on 19 February 2024. These are my summary notes: Overall feedback notes from tutorial discussion With regards to my contextual Essay (1000 word excerpt): Action points arising from the tutorial
Unit 1: Week 18: Practice-Based Research: Investigation 1
All of the reading that I’ve been doing up until now, and will continue to do, has given me a deeper understanding of interconnectedness and entanglement. I feel that it’s improved my foundational knowledge, and put me in a better position to understand where I’d like to go with regards to Practice-Based Research, which hasContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 18: Practice-Based Research: Investigation 1”
Unit 1: Week 17: Research: The Periodic Table of Elements (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)
Investigating Entanglement and Interconnectedness, and thinking about the idea that we are all made from stardust, it was an obvious conclusion for me to come to the Periodic Table for scientific proof of our interconnectedness. It is not enough to say ‘we are all made from the same stuff’ – I wanted to know exactlyContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 17: Research: The Periodic Table of Elements (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)”
Unit 1: Week 17: Element of Chance and Taking a piece to Failure
BRIEF: RESPONSE: How did this experience challenge and/or shift your intentions for the work and your sense of knowing and control? As an artist, I’m quite a planner, so this painting was quite uncomfortable for me. Even though I started it before Week 17, I started it with the intention of creating something entirely spontaneous,Continue reading “Unit 1: Week 17: Element of Chance and Taking a piece to Failure”
