Script for Presentation

Presentation Script :

This presentation will cover where my practise was at the start of the year , the significant projects that changed my practise that helped me get to where I am now and what’s next.

Slide one – Collaboration with refugee council.

·      Very much a personal project – Wanted to work with a group of people who are directly affected by a political and or social issue.

·      COLABORATIVE WORKSHOPS !!

·      Proposed a series of workshops. COLECTIVLY DECIED - AMBITIONS !!       

·      THE STORIES!

·      Own response to stories that they told me – Very simple technique use ink.

·      Sensitivity was a big factor I was aware of and using a simple medium like ink works well for this, more figurative approach than realistic.   

Slide 2- Collaboration with refugee council.

·      Series of workshops in the councils building and one here at the uni.

·      Councils building painted tree on wall and drop in clients where asked to paint flowers and leaves to for on the tree. UNITY

·      Girls dream – to live in a house with lots of birds. Very grounding and achievable dream.

Slide 3- Ohh deer

·      Heavy going last project, needed a break to experiment and play. Needed to get it out of my system in order to be able to regain focus again.

·      Missed having a context, but still valuable to play.

·      Started to seriously consider textiles.

Slide 4- Sherlock illustration

·      Going back to where I left off last year, lino and screen printing.

·      Story telling and composition improved quickly.

·      Got into the stories and enjoyed it more than creating the cushions. Much stronger

·      Turn in direction

Slide 5- wuthering heights and twelve brother’s illustrations.

·      Two of the strongest piece this year.

·      Two different methods , traditional and digital.

·      Problems with detail . traditional not clear, digital much clearer.

·      Adapting for working for fast turnarounds.

Slide 6-

·      Break down of building up the layers digitally , exactly the same as screen printing but quicker.

·      More control over colour and easily editable.

·      Uneven textures but create a screen print catalogue that got rid of this.

Slide 7-

·      Editorial with new found techniques.

·      More depth to the images. Not as high quality but I have more time to work on the idea behind the piece which is more important.

Slide 8-

·      Spy zine. A1.

Slide 9- Social media

·      Not great at social media .

·      Finding techiques to work with it, delet it off my phone whenever I post something , not letting it dictate what I make.

·      Treating it more like an online portfolio  just a solely a platform for likes and promotion.
