Final Major Project: Critical Review Day, Falmouth F2F, 8th March 2019

On the final day of activities before the Symposium, we all come together for critical review day. I went all out and booked in for 4 mainly with tutors I had already worked with either on FMP or any other the other modules.

Wendy and Stella:

It was this review where one of the images that I wasn’t sure of where it fit was removed from the selection and I carried this decision on through the rest of the day.

Whilst I really like this image as it feels to me exactly how both my mental illness and my physical disease have affected me socially, I understand that it does not fit with the rest of my images. It also means I have an even number of 16 in my final project after its removal.

Isolation, Kirsty Logan, 2019

It was also suggested that I remove the titles and also the boarders and if I can change my mount board to black.

In terms of my diary entries I could consider a handout or a zine.

Jesse and Cemre:

Again they agreed that the titles are not needed.

I need to consider how I use my diary entries – I should perhaps try the Sophie Calle – Hotel Room layout.

Watch Velvet Buzzsaw on Netflox

I should perhaps shorten some of my diary entries and simplify them.

I also did a google search on walking artists and will research these also


I will also research:

Read the book: The Synthesis of Photography and Text in Contemporary Art

Consider printing on Aluminium or Selenium prints.

Paul and Karen:

Agreed with many on the comments above.

Consider Audio at my exhibition – me reading out my diary entries.

Open Skies – Don McCullin

Steph and Michelle:

Look at Sam Taylor-Johnson – 5 revolutionary seconds

Observance – Nicola Dove.

The links of these are to show movement with imagery and also Dove uses audio in this project.

Final Major Project: Group Critique with Paul Clements, 13th February 2019.

There was mostly a positive response and some people to look up:

  • Bernice Abbott
  • Wendy Ewald
  • Milo – Ophelia Under Water to compare with Lee Miller – Daka dead SS Soldier under water
  • Look into Willis Newsome – Arts in Health
  • Try and find a hospital arts fund Edinburgh Royal Infirmary have one so check with the RVI

Final Major Project: Group Critique with Krishna Sheth 27/11/2018

This was another great opportunity to meet up with my fellow FMP students and Krishna.

I presented the images that I had presented to Wendy earlier that day, with some really great feedback, I was advised that my images were strong. We discussed that I could look at communities were places that i could look to hold my images as my images were held in my local community.

One important point to raise is that we have to know when to stop – both through when to stop taking images, when to stop searching for what our project is and when to stick with what we should be working – and also to stop over analysing

I discussed my aim to have a workshop which was well received. I also explained that it would be on coping and photography.

Final Major Project: Group Critique with Paul Clements 30/10/2018

Similarities with Da Vinci and how he put fingerprints within his work whether intentional or not is a link to my own work. I really enjoyed working with the identity project – it encapsulated my love for abstraction with the love for my home county and my memories.

There was also conversation about the get together of Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon at the Colony Club where thumb prints were put on images.

  • The Identity Project Collage

I also presented at this group critique the layering images that I have been working on. These images received a good reception – particularly the ones that featured my relatives – showing some form of existence and this makes the images easier for the viewer to relate to.

A point was that the images of my relatives didn’t necessarily need to be in the original location of where my family were.

St Nicholas's Church and Cramlington Village square

There were suggestions to certainly email the city library as my location but to also contact the RPS North magazine, to have a feature if possible.

There was also an idea to look at DNA testing to get a profile – to print this out and maybe start inserting that into my imagery.

Research to do:

Graham Smith: North East photographer who had his work misappropriated (look at Granta Magazine, Editions 25,75)

Watch the Andrew Jackson lecture

I hope to develop these ideas to come up with a really great idea.
