Today I had a chat with Patti Ellis, a lecturer from Camberwell, about my work and found her opinion very refreshing and helpful. From listening to what she had to say it made me realize that when I looked back on my work looking just merely at my physical self was too much of a routine topic. I found it hard to take things from myself as the days went on and I realized that what changed was my medias and method of communication. I found that the way I communicated my work interested me and inspired me much more than the actual outcome of was the work was. For example, the peephole idea, I find, is a really interesting concept and method of communication. I wanted to experiment with these different types of ideas more but with different subject matters. Almost looking at the semiotics within my work rather than the object used. Pretty tired at just seeing images of myself. It makes me feel vain and somewhat obsessed which is definitely not the kind of person I am. I don't want to force work. At first when Patti pointed out the fact that the least interesting part of the project was actually me I felt a bit disheartened but shortly afterwards realized that what we had just discussed and confirmed was nothing but a positive to help my work move forward. Sometimes you've got to leave certain parts of your work behind to create higher quality visuals.
