(and learning outcomes)
I was *lucky* with my group 'No.9'. Me, Jacek, Darryl
& Ulysses. I went first, this is an excerpt from my introduction;
'I am a textile and surface designer specialising in
fabrics for fashion, embellished surfaces and embroidery, now leaning towards textile art. I want to create work that has meaning and more depth, and
as a vehicle for raising awareness of issues for international exhibition.'
Working Title(s):
1. The
Presence of Absence
2.
The Trace of Heterotopia
3.
Motherland
I showed 3 examples of artwork, a flick through this blog and my
bibliography to illustrate that I understood and was achieving the learning
outcomes (!). It went well, I appeared organised and thorough, it didn't matter
that I had done the preparation in order to reduce my nerves and help me
remember what I wanted to say! The feedback was very positive for which I am
grateful. It was more interesting and exciting for me to see what the
others, from different disciplines i.e. photography and graphic design, were
working on. Then we had to post one image and 20 words on a Tumblr page. (Have
a look!) This is primarily for other (and prospective)
students to get an idea of what we, as current MA students are all
working on.
After that we had to find a partner who was not in that group
or from our discipline to dissect the feedback and rewrite our original
presentations. I was with Javier, we didn't really do that, but we did
talk about our work and he invited me to be in his magazine about 'Memory', I
accepted of course. So I now have a 'collaborator'.
Aside: I am rather disappointed in myself for not taking any photographs
of today's activities.
Alice Kettle: Pause (detail)
Then a late lecture about her work by the Alice Kettle who
is a research fellow at MMU. Interestingly she said there would possibly be an
opportunity to work with her on some unknown future project. I'm up for that!
Wow.

P.S. I may have to change over to Wordpress, I'm having trouble
with my formatting.
I would love to see the work you presented Claire. Sounds as if it is going really well. Jayne
ReplyDeleteWe were only allowed to show 3-5 images, I used 2 sketchbook pages, 1 referring to negative space , the other illustrating my concept of 'trace' and an embroidery sample, they've all already been on my Facebook page or here on my blog...
ReplyDeleteIt's going better than I thought it was !
Thanks Jayne X
