Assignment Two

---

Following a feedback decision over the phone with my tutor on the 12th of November, I have made some notes on our conversation. 

I started by explaining what I had done since my last assignment, while my tutor looked at how I had cut my images down. My tutor thought this was good, as I had showed my process throughout. She said that my images showing me putting the images next to and on top of reminded her of David Hockney’s work. I briefly looked into his work in a previous unit, I will look at his work before I progress to the next assignment. 

Collage is something that I keep thinking back to as it would allow various perspectives, and show the inequality in its various forms. Layering the images, cutting up, or super-imposing could be methods to try out. My tutor recommend keeping it simple and sticking to one locations images, and try various collages and see where it leads. I will be trying this over the next few weeks and will email my results to my tutor when done. I will also upload all of this to my blog to keep a record of my progress and development. 

My tutor recommend that I look into Anna Atkins and pinhole photography. I will be looking into psychogeography as my tutor believes this is where my body of work may end up lying in. I will also look up artists who document their journeys, and walking artists. 

We looked at my pilgrimage research and my tutor recommend that I went though and pick the ones which resonates with me and explain and look into why. This may help with my experimentation with collages. 

Here is my self filled in feedback form, with additional notes from my tutor.

Responding to the Feedback

Following my feedback tutorial, I do agree with my tutor that I haven’t pushed my self. Except photographing different locations, I haven’t really experimented per say with my images or linked them. I do realise that I have to get out of my comfort zone and really push myself and try new things. This is the main thing I will take from this assignment. It is time to experiment. 

I discussed with my tutor how I could do this and one thought came up; producing a collage. I believe this may actually be beneficial to my work as I can create a new image but showcase various aspects. By creating a new image, I can use it to represent what I want to portray.
