Large Hanging Landscape

 Earlier in the project I made a piece of work where I cut up one of the collages and then hung the pieces from the ceiling, this meant that the landscape only lined up wen you viewed it from a certain angle. This time I did it again but I printed the sections of the collage on A3 paper. First thing I realised was that this was harder to construct than the smaller collage. Another reason I did this was to also get better photos. With my last documentation of this the background was a bit strange, it was the view into the corridor from my room, although this fit with the idea of bringing where I wish I was into my everyday life, I thought I could still show this in a better way.

I am really happy with how this turned out, I really like the fact that you can only properly make sense of the image when you look at it from a certain place. I also like the idea that I am trying to bring a sense of paradise and escape into my everyday life, especially now when we are limited to where we can travel.

 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

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.

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
