Dear Sylvia
Thank you for your fifth
Assignment
Overall Comments
The work you have submitted for this assignment
appears to be of a similar standard to your previous assignment, which
demonstrated an effective grasp of ideas and also showed creativity,
experimentation and that you are articulate and self- aware in
terms of theoretical understanding.
The assignment however does not give enough visual evidence
in terms of the impact on the viewer and it is difficult to determine scale in
relation to the environment and the viewer. There are also lots of implicit references,
which are good, but also some very obvious references to the work of other artists,
which borders on the predictable.
Feedback on assignment
Demonstration of technical and Visual Skills, Quality of
Outcome, Demonstration of Creativity
I emphasized ‘appears’ in my overall comments
because your blog is a little inadequate as far as evidence of your practice is
concerned. I was refused access to your Witches Wood blogspot so I cannot
comment on the work here. I also thought the images for your final project were
not clear enough and did not show enough of the spatial environment (room
space) and how the work impacted on this environment.
Your
blog demonstrated your reasoning and self reflection very well especially in
terms of conceptual understanding. Therefore I have had to go by your blog for
this assignment because of the nature of what you refer to as your “ object” work and evaluating this has been
difficult because the reproductions on your blog are not that clear enough. I
think you should have sent me some photographs for this assignment and I would
advise that you do this as evidence of Assignment 5, for assessment.
Your
combining objects and images work has worked quite well and the influences in
the work are clear. You also describe your intentions fairly clearly in your
blog. I would have liked to see more of the environment in your photographs to
get an idea of scale and impact on space.
Your
Diorama/ tableaux work has a clear Dadaist/conceptual focus and the gender
references (rather than the feminist references) are quite effective. You have
also sited the influences from Duchamp, Martha Rosier, Cindy Sherman and Jeff
Koons. However I think that your work has more in common with multi references
that are in the dioramas of Joseph Bueys or Marcel Dzama.
The
same can be said of your final project work, which takes its influences clearly
from Cornelia Parker, Kiefer and Stockholder.
There
is some interesting use of metal, micro line and graffiti. This also emphasizes
the different use of space in relation to planes of the metal objects, objects
in space and wall mark making. However the importance of scale and dynamics of
space is not clear from the images in the blog.
I think
there are still too much emphasis on concept, making and theory and not enough
importance given to the context of space and design.
Learning Logs or
Blogs/Critical essays
Context
Your critical review is well thought out and demonstrates a good range
of research and your argument, which is both articulate and self-aware. I would
have liked to see more references to outside influences such as changes in
society, multicultural influences and how perception is changing because of
access to technology. The bombardment of all our senses by such a variety of
influences means that the divisions in discipline are no longer valid. Artists
are responding to this in artworks that include sound, smell, physical
experience etc. There is also no mention of the digital revolution and how
artists are synthesizing digital technology into all aspects of drawing, painting,
installation and performance.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Liley
