Assessment

By the time I had reached the point of presenting work for my assessment, I had already begun to experience a shift. I was doubting what I was making and what I was going to do next and how I was going to build on and develop further what I had done. Breakages continue to plague the making which is impacting on both motivation and my ability to develop the work as exploring within a style/process is hampered by failures.

Fungi continues to intrigue and fascinate me and my research continues through reading, watching presentations, joining mycological groups and foraging.

Here as an extract from my learning agreement that pertains to what I am aiming for with my work, my intended outcomes...

"To continue to develop a more focussed approach to my practice and sustain the ability to stay on task, to seek constructive feedback on the work and stay positive and confident in my ability to produce this work. To be more experimental in exploring ideas and become less outcome, ‘finished piece’ focussed. To embrace and immerse myself meaningfully into an idea and concept and use research to help embed my thinking.
 
I hope that by continuing to take the time to hone my skills and improve the quality of construction, whilst being open to experimenting with materials, that this will lead to a cohesive, well considered selection of pieces that I can then use to inform a body of more resolved sculptural work. I want the pieces to have a meaningful concept that has integrity as well as an evocative aesthetic. "
