Pecha Kucha Presentation Seminar – online 5pm-8pm BST

Feedback from my presentation – notes:

Connection of private & public – domesticity – weaving/embroidery – reference to connection of everyday, layers looking through interesting – as an additional layer the light altering the work.

Shells – labour – domestic labour – subtly strong point – weaving an unexpected addition – why was the weaving added to the shell – becomes an uncanny object – common on windowsills so association present – time & attention – issue with lack of labeling – Gary Neil Kennedy, artist, dictates the label to be part of art work.

In first half of session we covered issues via the presentations, such as:

Do sales equal success?
Illustration/painting are they different?
How long will the work sustain you?
Can it be too precious?
Flattery, validation, control, association, appropriation, truth, composition, context.

Thoughts:

Feedback was useful, do need to question why weaving is important to the shells, its can be seen as quite unrelated and perhaps why its seen as decorative.
