Presentation – Georgina's Body of Work

Presentation

I have looked into ways of presenting for publication. I thought of a book format, a digital exhibition, a physical exhibition and presented as a newspaper, or church newsletter. I think a book or newspaper publication would be better for my work. An exhibition may work but it just doesn’t feel like it would fit my work. I have tired these out.

Here are my attempts at a book:

Here is my church newsletter/newspaper:

I think I prefer the newspaper/newsletter format at the moment, there will be text among the images, but there is a lot to develop in Sustaining Your Practice. My ideas might change or need re-developing and exploring further.

I have decided to stick with the newsletter presentation.

Here is the final images:

Here an image of the folder with the images. It reminds me of the folders you may get to hold documents. I feel this brings everything together in a neat finished way.

Part Four – Presentation and Outcome

Presentation

Make some notes on possible venues for your work to be displayed. How could these enhance or heighten the viewed experience?

I have been thinking of places where I could display my work. As my work is following a local pilgrimage, a local venue would be perfect. I did think perhaps of exhibiting at one of the churches, as they often hold art or local events. I also thought about exhibiting where the pilgrimage ultimately ends, which is at St. David’s cathedral. The issue I can see is that as these are religious building, they may not like the gender inequality angle my images are looking at. So these locations may be off limits. But I think a local tally or hall would be great, especially in St. David’s itself.

As far as presentation goes in a gallery, I was thinking of large prints displayed on clear walls. The other idea that came to me was using the original collages, so the viewer can really get the feeling and see the details in the process. Hopefully it would feel more ‘real’ and authentic instead of seeing a print of the collages.

I believe exhibiting my work locally will heighten the viewers experience, as it will create a connection to our community. The images will show places that they know and possibly have visited before and it can get them thinking. Displaying in a small gallery will create a more intimate close feeling. So hopefully the viewers will not be overwhelmed. I think using the original collages will be better as it can show the work and authenticity.
