Reflection on
outcomes since last tutorial
Tutorial about draft artist statement. What audience – I
imagine it is if I showed current work or work in progress in an exhibition of
MA students – Caroline suggested making that clear with an introduction to
statement – mention studying and exploratory nature, to clarify.
When revising, add access points for readers – explicit
hooks, factual descriptions, etc – this is what the work is and is about, and
what is being tested, what ideas revolving around. Grab attention.

Current projected aims
and outcomes
It’s a fair question – why must the drawing become moving
image, especially as I am finding it hard to get into the project – why can’t
the drawings be as they are. Somehow the answer is that it is because I already
decided that from the beginning. The drawings must necessarily make a leap to
become moving image – they are not just scanned and linked drawings – but it is
my search for meaning, and the interruption of my usual process, which is
making me falter. I feel this is a really valuable process, to deconstruct my
practice, and although it feels a little frustrating, I also know that it is
constructive in the long run. I think the drawings do stand as they are, but I
always wanted to transform them also. I have a belief that I must do as I
intended – I must solve the equation and find a way to make a meaningful piece
of moving image from the drawings. I am observing myself. What I will also
present is writing about the transition, the work in progress, the
difficulties.
Caroline reminded that I already have a body of work for the
assessment – the drawings, and that the moving image piece does not necessarily
need to be finished. Good to know, but I feel that as soon as I get more of a
handle to the moving image, I will pursue it. I am working on it anyway – I’m
not used to working without feeling driven.

Discussion and
recommendations
Be more specific about references – music, novels etc. Name
names, ideas.
In statements – no I aim, I hope, etc – be the authority of
own work.
Reflection
I mentioned somehow including all the reviewing I do as part
of my work, as it is really integral to my artistic activity – perhaps in the
future, include that as part of my core activity – reviewing own work, and
making a project of that.
