Narrative: option 4, ex 4.2
For this task, I need to develop a series of paintings that ‘appears to develop a narrative but which ultimately leaves something important unsaid’. There is advice about how to identify the story and plan for it – storyboards for … Continue reading Narrative: option 4, ex 4.2
Project 4 research task
This begins with researching Ian Andrews using the links in the course materials and then moving beyond that via a set of key words derived from that research to find other artists using ‘archival or appropriated material, stories, dreams, symbolism, or other ways of categorising/ordering knowledge and ideas and ideas which are partial or have degrees of unreliability in their systems’. As none of the links are active and I have come across Andrews before, I have used YouTube videos as a reminder. I am not going to spend much time on Andrews because unfortunately his work reminds me of … Continue reading Project 4 research task
Leaving space, making space – option 4, ex 4.1
I took an inspirational dive over this. For some reason, I found it hard to imagine and couldn’t bring to mind any kind of subject matter that might remedy that. So I ran a search on Pexels which provides royalty … Continue reading Leaving space, making space – option 4, ex 4.1

Option 4; liminality, ex 4.0 states of unknowing
26th January 2022. I was at a bit of a loss with this to begin with, but I know my own history and it quite often favours horizontals whether these are tide lines up a river bank or the strands … Continue reading Option 4; liminality, ex 4.0 states of unknowing
Option 4: unknowing, research task, & essay
The first task in this option is one of close reading, a technique that requires conscious attention to a tract of text in its context, the linguistics of it, the rhythms, and the meanings. We have for examination Pippa Gatty’s artist statement from her site in August 2020 (provided in the course materials) and we’re looking for words indicating liminality (edges or borders), and unknowing. For me, this was an exercise in identifying probes – where would I want to ask the meaning of something, for instance? – along with words that suggest containments or areas of leakage through a … Continue reading Option 4: unknowing, research task, & essay
