Interim Show.....

Following the initial discussions of the interim shows, we arranged roles for everyone, my role was mainly communications - forwarding messages, helping to organise meetings, making sure people were coming in to give in their work and answer any questions. We also had a documentation team; Filip & Oliver, publication team; Aurelia, Iyesha & Jack D, an install team; Nayeon & Jack A, who mainly made sure that works which were to be mounted onto a wall got the required mountings sorted, and the plinths booked out and a labelling team; Molly. The rest helped with advertising, documentation, install and communications. 

When we were happy with the confirmed works, I made a plan of the space - PS2 and made sure to arrange works in a way that would use up as much space as possible, but the works do not class with each other too much. I made sure to place the paper pieces together, and tried to separate the paintings as each were of different sizes, and were all very bold in composition and colour, and would need a space of their own to be appreciated equally. I made sure that the rest of the group were happy with the plan and sent it off to Molly for the map and labels. 

Overall, I was extremely happy with how the exhibition turned out in the end. I was concerned that some of the pieces wouldn't arrive in time or not at all, and that the plan wouldn't look right in actuality, but everything worked, and everyone was happy. I do think there were a few things that could have been improved, such as communication within the group on both sides, perhaps titling within the exhibition, advertising, the poster could have been made clearer as it was very heavily focused on the religious side. But on the other hand, I feel that I should have made my concerns heard, and at least try to give constructive criticism where necessary, but I didn't feel confident to do so. In future, I will try and make sure that I make my voice heard, and become more confident in this area of team work.

Screen Prints & Lino....

After doing the CMYK prints, I decided to experiment with the prints. The first lot of experiments I used my lino prints and printed on top of them. I had also cut out some smaller lino designs to print alongside the main lino print, and also decided to cut out most of the background and the text of my main lino design. I then printed each design separately - the main design first, then the flowers, then both lino's together. I really like how these designs have come out. I might try this out on my newspaper print, and then possibly stick it in a public space? Something that I'm considering. I like the contrast of the bold images over the text and I feel like these alone would be an effective series. I might just stick these up in a white wall and document them as a series to see what they would look like. Perhaps even individually. I might take this further and do more prints, perhaps experiment with different colours and perhaps introduce an element of collage, even perh...

BA2b - SELLOT Exhibition: Planning and designs....

As well as Anteros, I'm helping to organise another exhibition in relation to the ARTAGRAM exhibition that we did near the end of BA2a. For this exhibition we decided to explore the idea of commercialism, and what is considered art. We are using the gallery space as a pop shop instead, and will be creating products that we will hopefully sell. The products that we hope to sell include t-shirts, prints, postcards, sculptures, craft pieces and so on. For the initial stages, we have been brainstorming designs for the name of the exhibition, postcards and the initial poster designs and colour scheme. For the postcards, I made some designs based off of my practice - using feminist slogans and gender symbols. I stuck to the same colour scheme of pinks, whites and teal - which are going to be the main colours  used in our publication. I experimented with different effects on the text, used the same techniques that I used for previous di...

INTERCHANGE: Japanese Book Binding....

For the first workshop of the interchange event I chose to do Japanese book binding. I thought it would be good to learn a new skill, and after creating the books, I thought I could use these in our SELLOUT exhibition. There are 3 main types of Japanese book binding; Yotsume Toji (four hole) binding, Kikko Toji (tortoise shell) binding and Asa-No-Ha Toji (hemp leaf) binding. I chose the four hole binding and the tortoise shell binding. The first stages of Japanese book binding involve folding sheets of Japanese paper in half. We folded 20 sheets of paper in half to create 40 pages. We then flattened them down with a bone tool, covering the folded pages with photocopier paper before doing so. After the folded sheets were flattened, we collated them together, cut another sheet of paper to the size of the pages, which would be then be stuck to the cover later on in the process. Once the backing of the cover and the pages are all aligned, we then measured out the margin for th...
