Portfolio tutorial with Alkesh

16 January 2020

Artist Statement

  • Reference my Architecture and Interiors background
  • words – body, homeware, urban art – change the words, make them broader – cross reference the words with projects – (design, craft, art), (varying scale), (design issues?)
  • reference writing
  • make image of ring clearer – new photo, good picture overall
  • Note – how to incorporate the statement in my video and motivation statement? use ideas, start script for video

P04 Investigate

  • Front image format – good way of representing processes and approach, maybe incorporate symbolic aspects in similar format – narrative in place of materials? parallel exploration of narratives
  • combine processes and outcomes pages into 1 single, for third page – take narrowed down images from realize – ring photo, any others executed (as much as is done by then)
  • For processes and outcomes – cross reference scale, varying applications – by photographing in different contexts – screen in architectural model – other scales of context – or words in artist statement – reference through photographs
  • Be selective of images in processes and outcomes – clean images

P03 Artefact

  • Reference the wearable aspect, body connection through smaller models – against the body – wrap ivy against structural object – develop the process – smaller objects – relate to the body – capture
  • Photos of nature against structure – reference in development process – tree roots in metal – let process and material go parallel to symbolic idea, thought – in photos as opposed to text and words
  • consider leaving out weaving images – not contributing to thought
  • utilize images of hand, grip, inform growth, contact – make lost time and moodboard into 1 page – series of hand experiments – lost time experiment – small objects nature against structure, handbag – final object and relevance

Vasant

  • Should be referenced
  • Celebrate previous work
  • development sheets – concept sketches, reference flowers and formations through photos, sketches – technical studies into cut an loop piles – dot sizes, specifics – images of it being made? Plans of apartment and photo-shopped image in context – Final page – in context

Thesis project

  • Good idea to reference, but dont let it get too heavy
  • Layout and images not too heavy
  • image of boundary wall imp
  • keep plans, some spatial sketches

P02 Navigators

  • Use as bridging project
  • not as relevant to M&J
  • last page – not doing anything
  • context – sketch in place, present visualized context
  • bring out movement, interaction, where the butterfly came from
  • develop the project in the end as backup

To do:

  • Develop artefact and investigate as strongest (most relevant projects)
  • Incorporate narrowed down realize project in investigate
  • Reorder and edit carpets and thesis as previous experience
  • Develop navigator as bridging backup
