Test Exhibition Group Critique Notes

• Have to move around the work, engages the space
• Shipwreck - ripped sails, coral, nature taking over
• organic
• layering (use of canvas and tracing paper
• Drawings continue from one to another, tracing paper added afterwards - confusing, wanting to peel it back
• Purple/brown colour more organic
• Could I use watered down clay/slip?
• Teased apart, could create a book you can flip through on one side, other side of work placed to get away
• different prepositions from each side of the work (contrived)
• Placed outside, breeze could move the materials, weathered, as if it's placed to brace for something
• Statement on painting, criticism on painting, peeling away, fungus growing on it
• Tracing paper holds more possibilities, a better texture, delicate, if something hit it, it could be damaged
• more natural 'draped' effect on behind side
• more layers, heights etc - could play with this
• Wet tissue/paper piled up, destroying itself
• Tracing paper's function - copying, tracing, could I copy botanical illustration, direct copy - play with it's original function but in a different way to intended purpose
• Fungus doesn't need frame, separate work, build it separately
• What can I do to re-stage/develop the work further?
• Layers, more holes in tracing paper to allow sight through
• Layers starting with more observational drawing, going into more imaginary
• Doesn't have to even use a frame, simply stacked or sculptural
• doesn't go far enough, this is a starting point (push it further)
• Destroy frame, old wood, reconstructed branches/tree
• take one side of frame off, see how it falls naturally, leave it
• paper maché - paper making, transluscent pulp based paper
• Making own paper do draw on?
