Interim exhibition – my work critiqued
The MA Drawing peer group Interim exhibition took place in the centre for drawing on 14th April. We negotiated the exhibition space among the peer group and helped one another install.
The student review of the exhibition was conducted as a blind critique and the emphasis was on the ‘thingness’ of things, the what and the why. How do these drawings fit into the world?
I exhibited three works on paper, two wall based and one on the floor.
Comments:
- These are not graphite powder, drawn.
- Stretched as a result of being stretched over a form.
- Stretching has caused creasing as well as form.
- There is a flat area in the middle where no process has occurred(image below).
- There is a sequence?
- There is progression?
- the one on the floor is fixed to a backing to hold it.
- The oval shape is reminiscent of a cameo. It is an old fashioned shape. A value judgement?
- The frames are not rubbed but are delicate fine lines.
- But it reads as frottage.
- They are tray like but they read as mirrors because of the hanging.
- The left is blind the right one can be travelled into.
- The right one is not graphite powder but a build up of radial and horizontal lines.
- The placement is the hanging height of a mirror
- It would be monotonous if the floor piece was not there.
- The placement of Guilia’s shoe on a fur cushion is affecting our reading.
