I felt that the session yesterday was really good in terms of everyone contributing in their own unique ways. It was great to hear so many good ideas of what they would like to make as their final work for the showcase. Furthermore I would like to say that helping the group alongside Sarah is an absolute pleasure which left me inspired to question my own leadership skills and how far I could take my practice in the future. I will say that I am enjoying watching everybody develop at their own pace.
In my new drawings I feel I have captured everybody’s metaphors.
Victoria is a magnifying glass, so I have gone up close to show my drawing style of doing a one line continuous drawing.
Eliph is a Bee. My backgrounds are buzzy and busy. I feel these represent her description of herself being busy and buzzing around with many different ideas and projects.
Lucy was creating calm spaces within her metaphor. In my drawings inspired by South Korea, I have shown busy cities encasing people. To me this shows the need to find Lucy’s calm spaces. I have this idealised feeling when I look at pictures of S. Korea that feel welcoming, that I feel calm because I am reflecting on how I’d like to feel when I’m walking around London.
Pixel’s was alarms and pixels. He maps his day with alarms capturing small pieces of time then crating images in pixels. I thought about my drawings as a brief moments in time being captured. I’m observing people in a split second camera shot whilst going about their day. This felt like Pixels process.
