My Degree Show is up. I have taken some good quality pictures of my exhibition space and am really pleased with the outcome. The works, really stand out against the white background of both the paper and the wall. They are attractive, and the vibrant colours against the white definitely attracts the eye. The viewer will be attracted to the work and then exposed to the realities of today’s landscape. My practice is successful in this way.
The actual display of the work is also successful. They are all carefully measured about and precisely displayed onto the three surfaces. I have deliberately put which piece I think is the most attractive, eye catching and successful so that the viewer will be drawn to walk closer to the centre of the work. When doing so they will be surrounded by my work, highlighting that the worlds they are viewing is a reality they are part of. This is the landscape, landscape beauty is used here to highlight environmental harm but also as a symbol of what could be lost if the causes of depletion are not acknowledged and acted upon.
