After completing the first Sharpe's exhibition, i then moved on to the next exhibition which was called 'Transforming Heritage'. This exhibition was to reflect on the process of transformation within South Derbyshire and The National Forest. This was a development of the heritage project exploring how the area has been transformed. Again this was being held for the open public, inside of Sharpe's Pottery Museum, where each individual student has to produce a piece of work.
The most important aspect for me with this project was practicing the type of photography that i enjoy creating at the moment which is old, style photographs with embroidered geometric stitching. At the time, i was very confident in the work i was creating and felt that it was possibly my strongest work yet, but there is still room for improvement and i believe i can push my work further as well and do some more experimentation work. This work again, is similar to the work of Shaun Kardinal with the embroidered stitching, but there were a few other artists that i looked into for inspiration and one of them artists was Lorena Arance. She produced such beautiful soft images of nature and landscapes, which were all shot on film. What i loved most about her images was that they focused on the beauty of nature and the images were very simple.
Below are a few images, showing Lorena Arance's Work ...
All images were taken from http://www.lorenaarance.es/projects/summer/ [Accessed:09.05.2013]
Like with Lorena's work, i wanted to show the beauty of nature in the most simplest way, as i believe that the most simplest of images is the most strongest.
Having applied all my recent skills that i have learnt, i have created a piece of work that i really like and think fits well within the exhibition brief when you read the artist statement that i have to go with the piece of work. I love how much of a beautiful location hides so many hidden facts about itself, that people to this day wouldn't have any knowledge of. I have learnt about many new facts about the surrounding area that i may have not known before and i have also discovered new artists whilst doing my research, which i will always be checking up on to take a look at their new work.I have slightly improved on my knowledge of what it takes to produce a piece of work which is amazing, I have learnt to be a lot more critical of my work and push it as far as it can go. The knowledge and the skills that i picked up along this process and any other process will help me as a learner and a practitioner. As a next step, i need to think of what i should do for the next exhibition which is going to be held in late October, I'm thinking of doing something completely different but i think i need to do some experimenting over the summer holidays ...
