After Talk Week

Points from my critique that I have decided to further investigate:

 - Sense of temporality and fragility – I am still interested in keeping the temporality of my installations so that there is a sense of experimentation and a temporary response to the occupied space.
 -  Opening up an awareness for the viewer of past markings and trances in the space.

 - Not set or permanent

 - Drawing base – continuous line

 - Improvisation – making decisions as I go along through the making process

 - Rhythm in the material

 - Contemporary activists group – filling cracks with bright wool – responding to the space –using colour, line, circular shapes and everyday materials to make connections the surrounding space.

         Looking at other ways to install my work: try different supports to alter the reading of the material or focus more on the materiality rather than its reference to its everyday use. Exploring the ways in which these everyday materials can talk to each other by being selective in the number of objects I present and how they sit in the space in relation to one another and the environment.

          Platforms: fragility, escaping rug reference

          Floor: responding to markings or other objects found in the space, heavier materials

         Wall: hanging, look at colour and how the material will be read.

         CONSTRAINTS: placing constraints on my process/ interaction with the material to further understand their materiality   (strength), and what I can do with them to inform the reader of my selection of materials and their activation of the space.

Developing my ideas: New material experiments and installations..

Everyday materials, colours rope responding to the space

In studio installations:

"Untitled," 2013, found materials (old woolen garments, coloured wool, string, tape, cords)

Close Ups:

 - Colour combinations – colours that work, create interesting relationships, contrast each other, range of intensity to highlight chosen markings in the space

 - Being more selective in the materials that I choose to focus on specific relationships between each addition and the surrounding space.

 - In this installation I think I can afford to take away some of the elements as it is too currently too loaded.

 - I also want to be selective in the already established markings of the space that I choose to highlight. I am doing this by involving them in the installation using my selected materials and also removing other markings with turps to draw attention to my interaction with these given characteristics of the installation space.
