Drawing Crit

The drawing crit for my installation went quite well. There was quite a lot of discussion about my work, which was pleasing to see. These are a few things that were said in my crit.

  • Pieces could be about madness because of how busy the drawings are. There are areas of busyness but as you move away it starts to calm down in certain areas.
  • Tangled
  • Perception and space, different density of lines
  • A map of all the points on a face
  • Faces can not be made out from close up, only when staring at it from a distance you can make out he faces
  • Isometric chaos
Media
  • Very formal
  • Muted tone is framing a more conceptual reading of work- You look through it and in some ways do not see it as a piece of art. Every line has a meaning
  • Something you have to read into
  • Materials are not designed to seduce the viewer, more for conceptual pleasure
  • Maybe add colour to exaggerate areas, colour might give the piece more depth
Tone
  • Detached and analytical, very formal and lacks emotion
  • There is tension between the subject matter and tone
  • Confusion-not seeing a way through something, problem with processing information
  • Uncertainty
  • Instruction manuals- has the same tension as work. Narrow instructional information, medical encyclopaedias, factual- similar detachment in the images
  • no empathy- almost socio pathic  
Display
  • Displayed in symmetrical way- Aesthetically pleasing 
  • Maybe too close together, eyes are drawn to work next to it- maybe detracts from work
  • It is unclear whether they are separate pieces or all the works to be seen as one piece
  • Possibly could have been lifted off the wall
