Action Plan

Outline your objective.  Where do you want to be? (Don’t be vague or general.)

 

I want to be confident in my work and my ability to talk about my work, more specifically the context. I want to be able to tell people why I am doing what I am doing rather than just showing them my work. I also want to continue to develop my ideas and produce an outcome that I am really happy with. I want to explore digital modelling and also ways of combining photography and sculpture, both digitally and physically. I have started to do this but I want to do it at a higher level of quality.

 

 

Where are you now?

 

Right now I am starting to explore more options of how I can create and display work. I am focusing on both physical and digital ways of working and continuing to look into the ideas of photography and place. Right now I am enjoying using clay and I want to continue to use this as I move forward.

 

 

How I will you get to where you want to be? What will you do next? Outline 3-5 clear steps that you will focus on to help develop your work over the next two months. Be as specific, pragmatic and clear about these steps as you can. Break large steps down into smaller, more achievable goals. Put them into chronological order.

 

1)    Explore digital modelling software

2)    Research more into contextual ideas: photography and place, landscape photography, photography and collage, structure/sculpture

3)    Explore clay work – how to physically put photos onto clay so that they are clear

4)    Looking into more physical elements – what other materials I can use to bring my collages to life

 

 

What problems might you encounter? How will you deal with these?

Not being able to use university facilities. For example I would like to look into ceramics in order to be able to put photos onto clay however if this is not possible then I will look into techniques I can do at home. Also if I wanted to use clear acrylic for something when I start to look into more physical techniques I can start off by using acetate. Another issue I may have is with the new modelling software I have however there is plenty of tutorials online that I can look at and I know that there are people within the University that I can contact for help.

 

 

 

How will you know that you have achieved your individual steps/goal?

When I feel happy with what I have achieved, if I think I can’t take my ideas any further. Right now within this project I feel as though I have achieved everything I set out to do because I am happy with what I have created and I know that despite not being able to digital modelling I have explored the other ideas to the best I think I could. I think in terms of research there isn’t really an end goal I just want to continue expanding my knowledge on the subject area.

Artist Statement

My work is about place and building relationships between places. It is about bringing the idea of ‘paradise’ or the ‘perfect’ landscape into everyday life. Taking fragments of the places I have visited and turning them into a new place. They then become parts of a whole fragment. I have built relationships between the places in the images by placing the fragments next to each other. I have been finding ways to make these places exist in physical form as well as digitally. I have been adding depth to these flat images, because they are more than just fragments of locations placed together, they have now become their own landscape. To me each fragment of the image reminds me of a specific place and time, however other people may just see a landscape. The way they are presented either shows them as their individual fragments or as a whole fragment. This has been an exploration into bringing collaged landscapes to life.

 Thibault Brunet is an artist who explores photography through cyberspace. Brunets work is very digital and constructed. His images are usually screenshots of games and items constructed in the digital space. He has also done series exploring France through Google Maps and sometimes would take parts of the images and remove them from their original place to decontextualise them. Brunets work feels similar to mine as we are both working with places that exist digitally. However where I am then taking these digital places into the physical world he keeps them digital. His work is very much based on landscape but not always a whole landscape, sometimes he only focuses on individual buildings however the way he presents them seems to place them in their own landscape. Taking individual buildings out of their context and placing them in their own landscape gives them a completely different feel. It makes them feel constructed and isolated, like they don't belong in the real, physical wo
