Conceptual Project Group Crit

Image choosen as final image as i felt that this best represented the theme in terms of how PTSD effects ex war veterans due to the story a friend of mine told me from experience (see last post)

Some feedback I recieved from tutors/classmates was that the photo was

  • comical/yet sinister.
  • Do the eyes have to look like eyes or could I use something else in replacement of them?
  • Do the eyes have to be on a person?
  • Has a look of animie about it.
  • Difficult to corrolate meaning
  • Will i decide to let conceptual inform my future practice?
  • The artist in residence mentioned that prehaps i should look at an artist who’s name she can’t remember but whom uses parts of magazines on her face.
  • Artist in residence suggested using the app called ‘face tune’ which is the app that Cindy Sherman has been using within her current work.There is also filters on the Mac that can give you ‘long eyes’
  • Prehaps i should stick the eyes on and stand in different public places and film using a timelapse.Would be interesting to see the public’s response.Also having the eyes on whilst doing every day things about the house or maybe just lying in bed looking at the ceiling.
  • The tutor commented that the piece was very performative and had good future performative potential there was still more that could be tested and developed.She also mentioned that I should prehaps concentrate more on the idea which is serious and move away from the visual comical aspect.
