For this task I decided to compare eyes to galexies, looking at how both hold a lot of information within them, eyes link into my theme of emotions. I picked these two things to look at because of the scale of things as well, a galaxy is never ending where as eyes are something so minor compared to a galaxy of stars yet there so similar in many ways, they both hold massive amounts of information within them.

I was unfamiliar with the blog layout as I’ve never done anything like this before so my blog wasn’t the best but has helped me learn more about my own art practice. I enjoyed having a space where I could talk about my work and document moments, which I can now look back on and use for future research and help.
I think the research module helped me with my artist research and my own practice, it pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and wok in new ways. Having a blog also helped me with my management, I knew I had a task for each week so I had to set a time around the rest of my work in which I could sit down and get them done. I particularly liked task three where we got to pick the picture because I found new artists and explored a subject that I’ve not done much research into, it also helped me with doing better artist research.

Exploring how emotions have an effect of my art.

For this task I chose to look and hsin wangs project De-selfing she uses her photography as a representation of her feelings. This project is about her feeling like she needed to change herself after a breakup taking away everything that made the old her hens the name de-selfing.I think this project is so powerful because you can really see her true feelings and emotions within each picture, as all of my recent projects have been about feelings this project really spoke to me on a whole. Her use of objects gives a 3D element to the images.

I was looking at Michael Hirshons illustrations and decided to take elements frske om the actual image and change it. Taking the original image and layering it and changing aspects of the actual image.

Histories of art

From what I understand from these texts serra and Steinberg both had different interests within art but they both talk about there interests and development within the process over a period of time. “from other criteria” Steinberg talks about the development and process of art. Steinberg seems to be more openminded and talks about how the placement of art doesn’t count, he also focuses on how other artists such as Duchamp shaped the expressionist movement.
“from the yale lecture” Richard serra talks about how he built site specific work which is different to how Steinberg says that the placement of art is not important he goes to say that “there is no law against hanging a rug on a wall, or reproducing a narrative picture as a mosaic floor” he believes that the more important thing is the art not how it is shown or represented within a space.

I feel as though anything can be used as a form of expression, with most of my work I have been looking at feelings and how different things trigger emotions. I would want emotions to be used as a new practice, taking how we feel and turning it into something we can feel and touch, using traditional forms and methods but being run souley by our sheer emotions at the time. Our emotions and feelings are changing and developing all the time we are forever developing new feelings and emotions wheather there towards people or objects.
So I would like to propose that my new form of practice is an emotion led one, using our emotions to fill a blank canvas or finish a story. Letting people know how you feel can change there perspective on things as well.

Earlier this year I saw Leonor antunes work displayed in the whitechaple gallery where she created an installation piece where straight lines and flat panels turn into something with loops and twists within it creating a type of sculpture, she uses various of methods of holding things together in some way to represent togetherness. She looked at the way people use the things they wear to identify who they are and what type of group there in, like sports teams all wear the same outfits so you can tell they are one. This piece stood out to me personally because I felt like it was more interactive than a lot of pieces I saw that day, I could walk around and view it from various angles and really get a feel of what the artist was trying to create. I really felt the feeling of togetherness, she showed it in a unconventional way and a way I personally wouldn’t have thought to have done

The now gallery held an exhibiton my Camille walala where she created an installation she created it to capture the imaginations of the viewer themselves. Camille walala was set out to give the feel of disorientation and playfulness, it challenged what the we thought we originally walked into. I had an interesting experience at this exhibition it changed the way I thought and challenged my ideas.

The installation was a type of maze within itself, there were areas where the walls were bigger or smaller and mirrored panels reflecting the space back on itself. Amongst walls of bright colours and odd patters there were hidden areas for us to find with suspended shapes that add a hit of playfulness. She played with the idea of human scale and emotions sometimes things that provoke various feelings, such as having tight spaces which for me was an uncomfortable experience but for other viewers it was a feeling of pure comfort.

At first glance I see that Renee cox is using her own body to make a statement about sexuality and nudity, but at a further look I start to believe that she is also showing how women of her race are portrayed in social media. women of her culture are often shown in a sexualized and rather negative light.
I chose this image as it stood out to me the most, I feel like it made more of a statement than the rest in my opinion. Although I feel like she’s showing how women of her race are portrayed in the media I think the monochrome finish helps it reach out to a wider variety of people, it allows the viewer to be able to make a connection with it. As an artist I feel she has used her power to get an important point across, the way women are viewed in media has been a problem for years.
