This work has been all based around my space at college. I have tried to start at a point zero as best as I could. Deciding to use my table as the starting point. It was to be the object of art where it normally is used to produce art at. Only using the objects in my space (my table and chair) has been important to me. It’s been about using what is availble, trying to find interest in it and see how far I could take it.

 

I got told something very useful when you are stuck. There are artist’s who get stuck and bang their head’s against the wall, then there are artist’s who get stuck, bang their head against the wall and film it.

Drawing of my dirt pile

I was thinking today it’s quite strange to draw. It could be quite egotistical? The reason why I drew today was for fun and to get better at it. But then why get better at drawing, to try and show off? This drawing didn’t mean anything it’s just a study of some dirt. Is art pretty much just for show offs?. It is for a viewer most of the time and shown off in galleries.

 

This is where I have decided my work is at right now. I am interested in taking an object or situation and changing something slight about it so that you see it in a different context or persepective. All my work for this project has been linked through my table but I feel the different experiements deal with different issues and are therefore fairly seperate.

    Cleaning the table was about restoring it to what it once was like and in a way claiming it as mine, for however long I have it. In the context of the classroom it is the odd one out.

    Removing the table and bringing it back in the format of a video recording of itself is about reality.

   Taking an impression of the table itself through the prints then just paper is looking at the form.

    Ordering all the pieces of my dirt pile is about spending time with perhaps unimportant things finding interest within them.

So I decided for my crit to show the table in this new form, slightly altered as I feel it sums up what I’ve been thinking about in my work. It is optomistic looking at a table with a different perspective so that even with a slight change you can see new possibilities in the ordinary.
