Notes from peers:
-sequential work:
strong visual/formal elements
good connection to personal experience
strong composition
-“tender” piece could be brought forward and spent more time- play on words could be something to carry forward
-Teeth imagery- has a strong link to the development of a child- could continue the idea of something missing or bring it back to sequence
-Most recent sequential work- coherent of all the work ive done combined- need to think of bringing it together for a resolved piece
-think about using stills for some textile work, could just use imagery of nettles and dock leaves, or perhaps just the spikes.
-work seems like it has the intention to speak to audience, like a way of communicating a story
– if i am trying to communicate a story it doesn’t have to be direct or obvious, leaving room for viewer interpretation is ok.
Personal notes from feedback:
-Healing properties of plants is a strong path to explore
– Reminds brooke of mud pies/ potions could involve the aspect of child play being a source of nurture.; look into shona mcnaughton “we nurture” performance
-Storytelling is a good way to round up the project
-the use of plants strong because of the connection to my mother; passed down knowledge
-because lacking in materials i could treat fabric and paper in the same way for development
– the connection with text and textile is an important realisation to tie the project together
-it might not obviously tell my own story directly but with the use of imagery it can tell a story of nurture that people might relate to
– there is such a vast breadth of language that i can make use of, can easily adapt to each viewer
– doesnt have to communicate exactly or reduce it to only my experience- you can see just by looking that the theme deals with the idea of care
