Pecha Kucha notes

consider images of process or how to move it forward – ‘sketches of development, how you would do it now’ etc. image of studio, slide about context - research for each piece, philosophy - no text though- just image

Pick key points create/find copyright free images for illustration of ideas.

Betsy Timmer: ‘artists as cultural workers, recording and responding to the times in which we live.’ Façade – what we see vs. what’s inside, Time- passing, awareness as mother. (not a label I wish to enter my work.)

Artworks:

Successful: Divergent Resemblance: Mind the Gap 2017

For a brief, layers, technique, size and message. Engaged audience but subtle - critical: display, lighting - possible for future to artificially light, exhibit on center of room to see from all sides, or another viewpoint.

Expansion of project, make smaller, accompany with other works from different locations, change lighting in respect of time zones.

Unsuccessful: Retrieval Practice: Made In Tashkeel, 2017

Displayed as decorative object, text was not available in exhibition. Did not allow for explanation, accompanying text, so message was/observation was lost. Pieces are prototypes, works in progress, looking to develop further in to a series of ‘retrieved’ items but made in to fragile ceramics, linking to the retrieved clay possibly from areas/country item was retrieved.

Links to Langland’s and bell visiting uncomfortable areas. Interested in tourism, the nomad, the traveller, links to the expat thought - globalization and the aspect of ‘taking from; removing actual articles in innocent arts, removal of cultural practices from traditional settings, taking/borrowing of practices by those who wouldn’t normally practice them. Appropriation, yoga practice, religious beliefs, commercialism.

Blandness of inside of the shell, the beauty of the shell color lost, the texture retained. - Color issues, not sure where the color choice came from, unrelated to the situation. Looking in to the woven structures and creating more fragility, fragile environment, pulling apart of weaves, allowing for weave to hold together the structure. Show the other prototypes - the different colors, exploration in to clay, seek out ceramics studio, silicon mold making, using vacuum former, and no need for plaster casts.
