Assessment One

Preparing for the assessment mostly involved organising and arranging my work. I struggled a little as I was indecisive over how to present my work, in particular the drawings and supporting works which I didn't want to draw too much attention to. In the end I was happy with the work I submitted, arranging key pieces of work on the walls of my space in chronological order and putting the rest in a book.

My main concern was that my area looked very formal in comparison to other people's - I'd arranged it very cleanly and systematically. However, I thought (and think) it is important for the work to be coherent and presented with clarity so that my process can be understood by someone who isn't familiar with it.

I spent some time thinking about how I might display the installation I made in the sculpture week, which I the work I am probably most proud to have produced in the last term. Documenting it with photographs had been fairly difficult because of the space it was in and the use of yarn, which did not show up on many of the photographs. I decided to submit several photographs which showed the work from different aspects and the cardboard sculpture itself. I also made an additional 'mini installation' with the yarn in the corner of my space to showcase what it had looked like. I think the use of the yarn is something I may want to investigate in my next project as I am interested in the linear formations which can be made when it is pulled taught.
