After the tutorial and speaking everything through with Simon, i am defiantly wanting to look into mystery and deception within my work. I want to include both truth and fiction, but i want there to be a fine line in between both.
Group crits are always interesting as you manage to get another persons perspective who you normally wouldn't get. It was a great boost of self esteem to hear from everyone that they were all tricked into believing that what they had seen in the photographs were real!! I find that after sitting around and just looking at my sculptures, the photographs don't hold that element of deception any more, so this was great to hear. There was a suggestion on looking at film more, but i don't feel that that is the way forward. Also, it was almost universally thought that the painting which i did was not necessary to go along with the work, and maybe if i was to do another painting, i should encompass all of the photograph and its details, keeping it as one.
