Today I had a talk with Julian on what I am making and the 'purpose' of what I'm doing. From this I found out I didn't really know why I'm making what i am other then just making it. After talking to Julian for longer he helped me in starting to think in what I'm doing and doing a performance element to the piece, focusing on the love element, doing something with other people.
I started thinking about doing planning a community/workshop type thing, getting a small group of us to work together on putting sections of fabric/ceramic together. I spent the rest of the day thinking in this and seeing what possible as well as talking to other people to get other opinions and perspective. 

After speaking to my classmates and the print tech, I chose to do silk screen printed panels of fabric and do a 2 phase community base photo/video performance. Phase one will be inviting people to take a panel and sew into it as they please, using select colours I have picked beforehand. I hope that this will open up the opportunity to get to know each other more and spend time bonding. The second phase will be sewing the panels together to make one large piece. I hope to have the done in Liz's room, having a comparison to the lace makers of the adamas building, and the students of now. I hope for the photos of the second phase to apart of the VR show. I currently do not know what to do with the physical piece after this.

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...
