Post Reflection
Overall a positive response to the work, the “leap of faith” is at the heart of this assignment and the somewhere and nowhere, perception, subjectivity cannot be proved or disproved and that we both rely on some level on each other to fill in the gaps.
It is slightly strange in that it is personal and surrounded around a difficult time I don’t see it in that way it is almost becoming like a created fiction which is based on my own experiences and thoughts. I think I feel this way because it is expressed in a visual manner and is magnified in order to create a sense of what the work is or could be.
I do feel little uncertain on how I feel about the theme of trauma maybe the term trauma is a little strong but equally I fear that continuing this exploration of such themes may give people a sense that in someway I am damaged and traumatized which is not the case.
I did not really consider the impact that the clay figure had on the work in terms of adding other possible dimensions and this is something I need to think about, although I am not entirely sure at this time what new dimension the clay figure adds.
I did consider the role of alternating portrait and landscape which was intended to disrupt and but to add a layer of rhythm of time almost like passing seconds a visual tick tock. However I failed to really reflect this thinking within my writing.
The possible suggestion of further exploration with text format i.e written, font, colour shift and placement is something that I don’t feel is not really needed, it is of course an important element of the work however I feel that in its current format is strong enough to stand has it is and that further exploration would cloud any judgment I make that regarding the work and would be change for the sake of change. I need to further explore the surface has I am developing an interest the photograph has an object, the implications of the digital world, the importance of the object has memory and remembrance.
I continue to struggle with spelling and grammar this is not a thing that I can correct overnight and will be an ongoing issue however I continue to be writing in a engaging manner which I think overcomes this issue and I am slowly developing a critical and theoretical approach to my work.
I need to consider the impact of working in an almost retrospective manner in terms of making work first and then researching after, although it is working for me it makes written harder because it feels like the written is like playing catch up. I need to find a way that makes this element more manageable.
