Week 6 Presentation

For this presentation I showed my 3 explorations of different media as well as proposing a sculpture for my final illustration. 

Feedback from Kerry Ann:

Your work in progress was well presented, clearly showing creative references and your three illustration mediums explored.

I really enjoyed your approach using text/direct quotations to respond to in each of your tests, and would be nice to keep going with this.

Your work in progress offers rich possibilities in exploring this blurred boundary between imagined and real. The animal/people were interesting and again, remind me of illustrator Sue Coe.

Outside of your own themes of psychosis and confinement, How might the viewer connect these ideas and experiences with your site of Kenepuru Hospital in Porirua? Try and get specific using historic reference photos and sketches from your site visits, featuring details unique to the area.

Also site visits to the area now, would be from ‘the outside looking inside’, where as your illustrations talk about the ‘inside world, inside the minds of the patients and inside the four walls of the hospital’. How might you reconcile the interior (past) with the exterior (present)?

Feedback from Amos:

Your 3D sculpture work inspired by images of the mental hospital and a personal hallucination is very effective and visceral.

Your laser wood cut and animal transformation GIF, based from quotes were very striking. Excellent use of quotes over all.

Sculpture TV Head feat. 5 senses has potential and would be good to see this develop further with your own personal stories rather than just historic or the whole.

2 concepts are more literal (TV head and Animals) One is more evocative (3D sculpture of patient and bed.

How and where might this work be encountered? (at a museum exhibition, online, in Kenepuru?)
