TPP2 Tutorial 3 (1-2-1 with Sharon Ting)
Friday 5th March
Pre Tutorial Critical Reflection -
List 3 priorities below to discuss at your tutorial:
- Questions regarding TPP1 feedback , “explore the social element more”, “the emotional aspects may help with practicing more immersive concepts”
- TPP2 ideas / project proposal, I’d like to stick with the title embodied absence, but focus in on two sub themes, familiarity and impermanence- I think the narrative is all about feeling the void
- When and What? Facilities wise I’d like to go into the studio before easter just to reacquaint myself again, maybe produce some simple but larger scale A3 /A2 screen prints to work into with stitch over Easter - alongside working on digital things for hard material manufacture
- TPP, I have a WIP to discuss with you
- NSS - completed
During your Tutorial:
- Find your anchor- what are you feeling
- Visualise it as a seesaw, on one side is your response, on the other is the primary information you’re collecting (audience response) - one balanced out the other to ensure the outcome sits somewhere that is true to both sides
- Look up definitions of the void and how different disciplines have explored this theme - make a mind map on the 2 sub-themes and then we can see how big it is
- There is a sense of curiosity in the desire for engagement- not judgement or a measurement against your presentation
- Think of the studio as a making space , purposeful making
- Email Jo about purchasing and collecting permatrace to work on at home
- Look back at your sampling, and play with process - have you thought about using devore? It could be interesting in terms of the ‘void’ - even though you’re using linens, you could explore the edges of devore by using wet spray and an iron or a heat gun YOU WOULD NEED TO TALK TO JO, WORK OUTSIDE AND WEAR MORE PPE)
- Have you thought about using your sugar work - appeals to the sense, edible, interaction, draws attention.
- Alternatively the sugar work is a great development tool in regards to form not surface
Post Tutorial Critical Reflection:
Personal comments
- With the news that studios are definitely opening, I am feeling positive about being able to pin this project down in some physical work
Priorities/Tasks
- Email Jo about purchasing and collecting permatrace to work on at home
- Keep your eyes out for an email but we may be open for third years the first week of easter
- Make a mind map on the 2 sub-themes and then we can see how big it is
