Notes from my recent 1:1 with Wendy McMurdo – recorded here for reference.
We discussed my project proposal – it should be a road map to completing the project from concept to the end point. The idea is to convince people that I know what I am doing and not to continually refer and compare to other people – it is about ME and MY WORK not theirs. My journey.
Project Considerations:
Relationship of people to the background they are photographed in
Landscape format? Be consistent across the project
Sketch images before shoots (as I already do) and include these in evidence
Shoot images in black and white?
Consider use of grids / sequences of images – 4?
References to consider:
Andy Wiener – National Galleries of Scotland
Cindy Sherman’s early work when she was a student, 1976
Susan Bright – Auto Portrait
Discussed Eileen Agar’s Angel of Anarchy
Exhibition:
Ensure the venue is the right one
Possibilities discussed
At exhibition complete an artist talk and record it
Use of slide projector in exhibition?
Actions:
Bring contact sheets to future discussions
