comments made by the group from observation of my work:
all different cubes in all different environments
materiality
glass cube = curious
groups is variety?
glass changes/cpatures a view
copper on plinth more limited than copper in flowers
jospeh beuys – narrative thru material
glass cube – going on tour, to places important to me
glass cube – reflects back/disappears/enclosure
window frame – all photos
forlorn
why glass separate? two pieces, similar language
are photos the final? with cubes as props?
plinths – one is archiving the other
4 + 4 – grouped so that textures speak to each other
why not on floor – force viewer to get on floor
visceral objects
made to become safe
more interesting on floor – could be freer, contrived on plinths
communication between objects keeps returning
limiting
documentation
screaming to say something then say sssshhhhhh
glass not wearing clothes – draped looks taken apart
work if less of them? or more space between them? difficult to see groups
interesting textures
just glass and one other
photos do same as covering
what is an object trying to say
emitting/admitting
contrived relation
autobiography of cube, of the cubes story
photos all external spaces
size of images? why is one focussed in on? if smaller such as postcard then evokes travel
what is next in the story? (sequence)
up close photo of glass cub most intriguing, object disappears almost – frame
strength
asking you to look in – domestic
photo spacing so viewed together, like stop motion. size of photos evokes cataloguing. what if really tiny (business card size?) what of photos square? make lots more – fill whole wall of photos
glass is an illusion
less is more
if just one it says something
why cubes this size? intentional? – hnadable/human
reliable about a cube, strong form
granite cobbes – cobblestones – history
units – could carry on indefinitely
but not the glass one – absent but present
pieces of materials on the wall
JG – look at object orientated philosophy
