O U R W O R K
Coming back to the Kraak the following morning to meet with Eloise was really good as it meant we got to look at our installation with a 'fresh' pair of eyes. We were really happy with the way that it looked and proud of ourselves for making a collaborative piece. We received lots of complements about how it looked from other groups and remarks about how it was good that we had done collaborative final piece of work. I think our work came together really nicely in the end. At the beginning of Unit X I really wasn't looking forward to working within a group. Although I am usually happy to be part of a group, when it comes to art work I prefer to work individually a lot of the time. In the end though, I found that it became easier to work together as the time went on and we got to know each other better. Its surprising what we produced from the number 175.
This morning Waheed also created a quick artist statement to put next to our work as summary of our eight weeks together and what our project has been based on. It sums up our work perfectly;
"We have created a visual representation of ourselves by working collaboratively on a project based around the theme of our 'roots’. Exploring our individual origins and experiences through a range of drawings, photographs and textiles, we have created an array of multimedia work that showcases all the talents we each bought to the table from both Textiles and Film and Media Studies.
Our display aims to create a link between artist and viewer by presenting a theme of unity amongst students coming from different backgrounds and congregating in Manchester. We have shown this by combining our own family images with the areas in which we come from to create 175 unique and engaging compositions to represent each of us.
Our work is represented by a series of triangular pieces of work secured beneath sheets of perspex and intricately assembled in dynamic structures and configurations. We believe this is an innovative way to exhibit our work and to get the entire School of Art community celebrating the milestone 175 years of creativity."
Finally a short video of our exhibition made my Ana
