Critiques

Today we had critique sessions for Danny, Sue and Jo. It’s really helpful to see other people work and to listen to the group discus the work. Danny was up first with his soft sculptures. The phallic and the grotesque mixed with cute colours and soft textiles. Request to touch brought about playfulness and and differential kind of relationship to the sculpture as an object compared to being viewed just as an object with out tactile connections.
Susan was asking questions around the context of display and exhibition of her predominantly domestic object. Again we were invited to be active and to arrange photographic images of the objects in a non-hierarchical fashion. Also working in ceramics bring a different dimension to the works and questions around display.
Jo brought the now unfolded paper planes and three complete led canvases. There were questions around the display and delight in the qualities of the paper works.
