Hi Liz & other students at Writtle... Hi RebeccaL,
I was viewing your piece Splash, which I like. I was wondering how else you could explore this work further, mainly because it seems to want to be moving in some way. I was wondering if you could make this work more dynamic yet keep the contradiction and stillness of the images... It could be animated, or both - perhaps stop-motion or a net art work, or both or either, or something else... There are various ways in moving this piece, but perhaps it is also important to remind yourself what the raw concept of the piece means to you. Whenever I make an artwork it may change quite a lot during the process making it, into something else, yet it can keep maintain its integrity and spirit as well and work out to be better as well. Remember, this is your work - so take my suggestions with a pinch of salt but at least consider other options for exploration and possible discovery. I like these words "controlled experiment with various items being dropped from 30 inches." these words could be your guidelines and spirit of your process of maing the work. I noticed also that you have these tags slected chance, experimental, performance, photography. These are also guidelines to keep (if you wish), which act as guidance and structure or conceptual palette when venturing the project further :-) Here are some examples - they may not be directly relating to your concept, but I think the methods themselves are interesting and they may help in some way... I'll start with an excellent work by Jess Loseby: Take note of the sound... http://www.d-t-p.tv/work/jloseby.htm Sweet stop-motion video of paintings on public spaces. http://boingboing.net/2008/05/15/sweet-stopmotion-vid.html Thou God Seest Me: Some Gathered Thoughts for A Short Film About War.
