WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE FINAL WEEK AND THE LAST FEW STUDIO DAYS BEFORE THE SHOW. I'VE DECIDED ON THE PIECES OF WORK I'M USING IN MY SHOW AND I'M WAITING ON MY LIGHTS TO ARRIVE IN THE POST - SO I'M FOCUSING ON THE PIECES OF WRITING I HAVE TO DO FOR NEXT WEEK.

MY WORK IS MAINLY ABOUT VISUAL COMMUNICATION AND CREATING NEW COMPOSITIONS FROM PUBLICATIONS AND GRAPHICS I FIND AESTHETICALLY INTERESTING, RECOMBINING THEM INTO COMPOSITIONS THAT DO NOT COMMUNICATE ANYTHING. THESE PUBLICATIONS ARE ADVERTS AND ARE DESIGNED TO GIVE INFORMATION AND TO PERSUADE, I HAVE TAKEN THAT COMMUNICATION AWAY SO THE VIEWER ONLY VIEWS THE COLOURS, SHAPES AND SURFACE QUALITIES, WHICH COMMUNICATE IN A VERY DIFFERENT WAY.

MY FINAL PIECE WILL BE A CULMINATION OF ALL THE VISUAL REALIZATIONS I HAVE HAD DURING THE LAST TERM. I HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH VARIOUS MATERIALS AND PROCESSES TO FIND OUT WHAT WORKS BEST WITH THE MARKS, COLOURS AND TEXTURES MY WORK CREATES. I FOUND THAT TRACING PAPER ENHANCES THE COLOURS AND SURFACE QUALITIES THAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN MY WORK, AND ALSO ALLOWS IT TO BE ILLUMINATED WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF LIGHT. (FINGERS CROSSED THE PUSH LIGHTS ARE GOOD ENOUGH)
