Third Year Practice - Collections
My work
is focusing on turning data into something visual and I am really struggling
with this idea. I feel that everything that could be done with this topic has
already been done and that I cannot take it much further. I also found that it
was very graphic based and struggled to find inspiration within this topic. I
decided to take a step back and look though my blog and sketchbook to find
where I was really going with this work. The word ‘collection’ came up a lot
and it was a word I used to describe my work so I started from there. Instead
of looking at my work as ‘data’ I started looking at it as a ‘collection’. I
started my research again and found a lot of inspiration and context, which is
helping with my brief. I am beginning to look at my final outcome to be
something of a collection of things, perhaps things people do not care about or
want anymore, such a bus tickets, receipts, empty wrappers, etc.

Louise Bourgeious is becoming a huge contextual
influence on my work. When reflecting back I realized that I had a collection
of drawings and would like them to be accompanied into my final idea. I like
her work, especially her drawings, as they are always displayed as a
collection, rather than just a single drawing. This is very influential of my
work and something I would like to bring to my own brief. Her work is displayed
in simple frames and placed next to each other in a simple manor, perhaps not
to take away from the drawings. I really like this concept of displaying the work. The frames is something that I am unsure about however I do like the liner and very rigid way that she displays her work, almost as to be viewed as one large piece rather than individual pieces. I really like the concept of creating a large scale piece but it being created using smaller pieces.
