Assignment 1
1. Interesting links between the virtual, physical and digital, the social and lack of contact in online platforms. (OCA Tutor)
Me: Plastic imperishable, a new generation of material.
2. the multiple and isolated phone portrait is forming something potentially exciting, the phone becomes material – becomes matter but also a surface for the image/identity. (OCA Tutor)
3. The accumulation of plastic mapped out onto the wood becomes a painting unified through the paint more than the material which is interesting to question. (OCA Tutor)
4. The insertion of the pink into the crack in the tree talks about the incongruity and uncomfortable meeting points between the actions and emotional content you are questioning. Questioning time, a piece of cake, slice of pie, a segment removed and replaced. Real and virtual. (OCA Tutor)
Assignment 2
5. The eagle city scape works well as a multi-layered experience the drawing, objects film becoming ingredients in the piece. This piece has allowed you to play with truth and imaginary, physical and virtual even more (OCA Tutor)
6. The praying online allows another layering - imagined and then palpable. (OCA Tutor)
7. ‘Implicit form’ makes these correspondences (between a material, metaphor and an idea) and articulations clearer as surface becomes flattened or space becomes changed by angle and light. (OCA Tutor)
Assignment 3
8. We discussed the possibility for drawing to become a sculptural activity and you felt that this was somehow achieved in the constructed fabric piece. Consider developing this going forwards - how might you develop work with line, shape form in threedimensional space? (OCA Tutor)
9. Your approach in developing ‘Natural Screen’: the experimentation and exploration of material and structural possibilities, has resulted in a piece that we both felt was successful and had further potential. … the success of ‘Natural Screen’ lies in the multiple references and readings it offers the viewer – it is hard to pin down the work to anyone idea. (OCA Tutor)
Assignment 4
10. You continue to consider relationships between sculpture and painting - you talk about the “borderline place between painting and sculpture”, which I thought was interesting and something to explore going forward. …As you progress through Part 4 you do consider how your use of colour begins to speak to the sculptural aspects of the work – form, weight, mass, etc. Continue to explore how you might use colour to unify, emphasize, delineate etc. (OCA Tutor)
11. What stood out here was the experimentation that brought together the physical objects and the digital, which of course are very polar spaces. …The contrast between fluorescent ‘hyper’ colour and the sculptural antiquity emphasizes this divide across time. (OCA Tutor)
12. The interruption of the form/volume - I thought the exploration of the arbitrary nature of this process was productive - you don't know what you're going to arrive at. ...The highlighting of the internal form with the ultraviolet paint was effective and reintroduced a reference to the digital space. ...Through your use of colour and projection, you're beginning to work in a really interesting way with the relationship between surface, colour and form. (OCA Tutor)
13. …you are moving towards a very successful piece with Work 4. There's something quite delicate and particular in your choice and use of materials and these qualities could be refined further. There's also something reminiscent of earphones, which links back to your interest in technology. Having said that the work suggests, rather states, and there is a sophistication in this restless refusal to accept definition. (OCA Tutor)
14. ... you're really exploring the particular and the ambiguous in relation to abstraction. I thought was interesting when you talked about the egg shaped object being neither one thing or nother but equally being a bit like either of those things - so not this, but maybe that. ... And I also thought this play between the original and the copy was very really interesting, particularly as you have this interest in the digital space and painting. ... This awareness of the conversation between how work is made, recorded and received is really productive. (OCA Tutor)
Thanks to the support of my tutor, I have outlined the work plan more clearly. “…decide on a starting point (this could be a technique/process, or a theme - colour?, a question that can be addressed through making etc.) and allow the work to develop and build from there.” (OCA Tutor).
I read many times all feedback reports of Tutors. As a result: my works are connected with the analysis of boundaries between sculpture and painting; physical and virtual; as well as with the meaning of colour.
So I think this is a good direction for my analysis. With the completion of ideas in part 5.1 of the "Closure of Gestalts", I realized that process of work itself could bring new result rather than the task at hand.
