 Talk with Julian - After 2 week break

Today I had another talk with Julian, this time on my new ideas I had over the 2 week break. In this talk he spoke about insulations, filming/photographing myself and making of things. This was a useful talk and helped me have more ideas on how i can develop my work. 

While showing some of the photos i been looking at, he recommended going to the Gallery of Justice to take some photos there and maybe talking to someone on being able to get in for free - as i am there for more then a visit (he also said that it is okay to use someone else photos in my work). Julian also said about finding our who their curator is and contacting them on doing a small insulation there, this would be a fun thing to do but due to the time we have I don't think i will move forward with this idea.
(edit 14/11/2004 - I think i will see more on exploring this idea, seeing if they have a sink in a cell that i could do an insulation in - moving an existing piece into the cell with minor change (change more likely will be related to different sizing) but I am less focus on this, an option if have the time to explore.)
Things I could do - arrange fruit/veggies in the cell - make a plush tomato plant and wrap around bar - film myself putting this up or doing something else in the cell (I don't want to film myself but i could look into filming someone else)

Julian also spoke about relating my idea to a local story of someone who been wrongly accused. He told me about a man who refused his last drink on his way to being hung, and if he didn't refuse this drink another man would have got to him before he was hung, bringing a document that proved him as being innocent. Due to him refusing his last drink, this other man never got to him in time and he ended up being hung. Julian also said to talk to people who work at the Gallery of Justice and find other people, or look online to find some people, keeping the stories local to Nottingham.

He said about looking at outcast and putting symbols that shows someone as one on myself (or other people) - I could look into making my own symbols that show being an outcast as well. I like this idea however I am more interested in other ideas and want to focus on those ones.

Julian also mentioned making things, like plush veggies or sewing into photos. I like this idea and I am more interested in doing this. Looking at pattern and texture in my work as well as layers. It will be fun to explore other ways i can do this, maybe looking at ways i can suggest my symbols through pattern and texture.

Putting up show day 1 3rd June 2024 Today was my first official day of putting up the show, I wanted to focus on cleaning out my area, adding the mesh and fabric to the frame and putting the frame up. What I was able to complete  I realise that I put the mesh on the wrong way, but j was able to fix the issue buy flipping the frame before I put tje fabric on. My original plan of having the hook things for the books will not work, due the the fabric being in the way. I chose to do tie fabric tight and didn't realise that I wouldn't be able to put the wire between the fabric and the frame. I plan to put the hook things on the under part of the frame or on the inside edge I don't like the sag that is happening to the mesh, I plan to sew it to the fabric once the beads have been hung, so that it will have a more clean and finish look to it Before I headed home, I did some lose draping of the fabric so that I have a bett...

 Project proposal  My plan for this project, is to explore a made-up counterculture around the idea of taking back control/identity from those who are in authority. This counterculture can be seen in both a negative and positive late, as the people reclaiming their power have been labelled as criminals. On one hand, this could be viewed as in a negative way as the people/criminals deserve the punishment they received, making it seen as unjustified for them to take back their freedom. But it can also be seen as everyday people reclaiming what was unjustly taken from them—those who were wrongfully accused, committed crimes out of necessity to survive, or became victims of their circumstances, not intending harm or feeling remorse for what they did, or simply making a mistake. I will be taking inspiration from Japanese criminal tattoos from the Edo period, which were used to mark someone as a criminal. I'll also be looking at traditional Japanese tattooing, as this form of tattoo...

Looking at two early works of Modernism (600-700 word) - 856 words total In this essay, I will examine two early Modernist movements, Fauvism and Cubism. Although both of these movements involve abstraction, they each emphasize different elements within their paintings. Fauvism focuses on colour while Cubism has a focus on form. Modernism is a global movement within the art community that emerged around the 20th century. Modernism is defined by artists who broke away from patron demands, forming the Avant-Garde. Modernism artists creates art based on their own vision, challenging social expectations and exploring new ideas and techniques that was once unachievable. The Industrial Revolution played crucial a role in this shift, as cheaper materials, like synthetic dyes, made it easier for artists to produce their work independently of patron support. Though this, artists began to push the boundaries on what is 'good' and 'bad' art, as well as rejecting old traditions. Fa...
