In this space I will hopefully post regular updates on the development of my work process and findings to produce pieces for my MA in creative practice.

Also, I feel that making some clay models before going concrete is a good idea.
So headed to the ceramics department yesterday and had the greatest afternoon,
All the hard work and planning came together in my, what I call, CALL + RESPONSE exibition. Here is a video tour and some photographs of the event. (please click on link or image) https://vimeo.com/595363643 My special thanks go to Leila Reeves who took the fabulous pics for me!
I'm nearing the date of submission now. For this, I am required to include a demonstration of my thought- and work processes as well as reflective writing, a portfolio to show how my work developed and the actual curated pieces that ideally would make sense as a mini installation. Since I can easily get carried away during my work process and spontaneously add new elements, it's difficult for me to put myself into the shoes of the beholder who might look at my work with fresh eyes and an unoccupied mind whilst I am so deeply involved that I struggle to set priorities. I want to take stock now and put what I want to say against what I am actually saying through the pieces I have created until now: fatigue mood swings imbalance suspension brain fog physical and mental heaviness insecurity invisibility and lack of palpability of MS Initially, I focused on tubular shapes but I can see my work becoming more flexible as the forms become more fluid, organic and rounded.
It's now also the stage of progress where to spend time on planning the display. I looked of course at the ways of how sculpture is displayed in commercial galleries, that want to sell work and at museums, where work is displayed for the pure enjoyment and appreciation of it. The classic way is of course the cuboidal white plinth with suitable lighting. The versatile, neutral shape and variable height cater for all sorts of objects, brings them to eye level and don't distract from the exhibit but celebrate it. To further elevate the work, there would be more boxy supports stacked on. When I looked at many of these constructions, I realised they are not build as default stands but tailored to the object, with carefully considered and balanced proportions. I think, often the relationship between the accompanying displays is taken into account. I endeavour to keep these criteria in mind for my display. However, I have to keep in mind certain factors: At this point, I neither know...
