First yr 3 critique with Ian Jervis:

Notes taken from the critique:

vibrant, happy
meaning of vibrant:

a. Pulsing or throbbing with energy or activity: the vibrant streets of a big city.

b. Vigorous, lively, and vital: "a vibrant group that challenged the . . . system" (Philip Taubman).

2. Exhibiting or characterized by rapid, rhythmic movement back and forth or to and fro; vibrating.

3. Produced as a result of vibration; resonant or resounding: vibrant voices.

4. Relatively high on the scale of brightness: a vibrant hue.
stand out on the white wall (could add colour to the wall)
change, motion, rhythm, repetition, intensity
draws the viewer's attention
loud
sensation - the colours interact, there is no focus point but rather they have equal intensity and the eye cannot rest.
Beauty and order, beauty is the form of order, it is predictable, harmonious - bhut you do not want it to be so beautiful it is anasthetic rather than aesthetic and puts you to sleep...there needs to be some excitement, somthing dangerous and uncomfortable to look at
energy comes form the intense colour - how this colour works for me
Fluorescent colour - luminosity...fluorescent colours produce light, and excites and energises light, whereas most colours reflect light and absorb wave lengths.
Think about light being in the work and coming out of the work, rather than just on the work - the light can bounce off the surface.
controlled chaos - after time the eye can find somewhere to rest.
there is potential in the fibre
Gerhard Richter: think in terms of his use of colours - he only uses 256 colours - I could an choose if the choice of colours matters to me or the number of colours I choose ...

speakers around the room, 40 voices
in the middle the sound is uniform, balanced, and harmonious
when walking around the space the balance changes
at the start there is chaos and talking, then immediate silence, then the work starts
it operates in unison, there is a harmony and a sense of collaboration.
when walking aorund the room you can her individual voices as you get close to different speakers etc
these ideas appear in my work where there is harmony, unison, collaboration in the controlled lines and patterns of the wool, but when you reach the edges there is a roughness and a sense of each componant straying from the balance and control in the centre of the work...
my next work will expand on these ideas, highlighting the control and rhythm found in the centre of the focus points and continuing the wool onto other works to show a sense of imbalance and chaos between works that ecentually reaches a place of rhythm and harmony together in the next focus point....

Now to create this work I need to research better materials that will allow me to escape the confines of one work and link up a numbe rof works using the wool.
