Final Interim show and meeting with Garry Clarkson

In our interim show I chose the images I thought best represented the project at this point, and arranged them in a descending order, which reflect being brought down to reality. For the archive and object images, I chose A5 because of its intimacy and it allows the viewer to move in closer to the work. Also, for the paper type I chose Kodak watercolour paper, because I wanted to experiment with paper type. Meanwhile, for the conceptual image, I chose an A4 size gloss paper because it coincides with the aesthetic.

To start our day we went around in groups and, answering questions that were given to us, we gave feedback to our respective group's photographs, in order to help progress their work and develop it for the final exhibition.

The feedback I was given was promising, since it reinforced everything I've done, which means I'm on the right track. An example being that the middle image is reminiscent of a mind blank, which is what I was going for.

After that- I had a meeting with Garry Clarkson by my board, who hasn't seen my work since my first interim show last term, and gave me feedback: he liked the first two images, but felt the last picture was too obvious, and would've liked it if I used an image I photographed that was suggestive. He also said next time to include no more than five images for my exhibition, with perhaps one main image surrounded by other pictures; this will lead the viewer to the photobook, which is the crux of the project.

Overall today was very helpful in reinforcing the work I am doing so far, what I need to do to perfect the project and generate ideas for the final exhibition.
