Positive, encouraging feedback from peers. Work is at broad stage, documenting people in both Leeds and Manchester city centres who are ‘waiting’ or going about their daily business. Not yet explicitly focussed, a good method for starting out, being broad and seeing how it focusses ‘organically’. Review suggests that text and image results are most effective - I will try and incorporate both in my final images, letting the text give the images context and a deeper exploration of the everyday. Reduced and gestural line work was well received, saying it ‘captures passing of time as it is responding to’.
Suggestions for development -
- delve in more, speak to people
- include individual daily routines
- zone in on favourite parts, develop
- make publication
- screen print layering line drawings up
- incorporate more text
Plans for development -
- focus on main concepts and areas, waiting/commuting and impacts of technology on the everyday
- think about collating images into publication, collections of topics, themes, subject matters to build up a series of the everyday through different categories
- think about ways of incorporating text, talking to people? overheard conversations? interviews? own observations might make an interesting context?
- continue pushing visual language of work, develop loose mark making and quick representations of forms and subject matters
- ensure practical work links to and explores content of essay
The work could definitely be more explorative and experimental in its documentation methods and visual presentation. I am going to try and combine more research methods into single images to create a ‘map’ of sorts that builds up a picture which represents the everyday in a more detailed and broad way, taking into consideration the complexities and multiple factors of the everyday.
