At the end of this week we have to display our work from the project we have been working on for Steve. We have been told the key goal is the work should speak for it's self. I need to present the narrative with out talking about it, so i've gathered all my work and am looking at which pieces best explain themselves. All together I have my series of paintings, my photos, my experiments, my research (on this blog) and my sculpture.
After the a3 crit on monday I feel my sculpture needs to be developed more to help explain it's self so that would be the first thing I could do. I got the impression that people got the general idea of pollution, but not necessarily from the cigarette butts, so I feel to make the work more explanatory I would have to look at adding more cigarettes to the piece.
This is one idea I could develop, the next is my paintings, I feel like I could maybe play around with the centre of the work where the burnt whole is, already the paintings are creating this black hole, which I think represents polluting the world, but visually I feel maybe if I added some more ash/and fag ends it would help get the narrative across of the mundane object taking over and destroying the world.
My third idea would again be looking at my photos and the idea of nature fighting back, which I have tried to represent in my sculpture, I could play around with recreating another photo, or displaying them in a way that is suggestive of the idea. Hopefully if I have my blog for people to look at along side my work people can look through the series of photos I have taken and be able to get a better idea of where my work has developed from.
