5 FEB 2019 / DAVID
PROBLEM: Unsure how to take my self-directed research forward
TIPS:
Be deliberate, create a situation, stage an image, still life.
ARTIST REFERENCES: Thomas Demand, Jeff Wall "Concrete Ball", Gabor Osz "The Physical Level"
PROBLEM: How to write a proposal for Lucy Art Residency
TIPS:
Don't mention that I'm a student
Discuss time and space related to the location of the place.
Camera Obscura/Cyanotype
Talk about distance, time and abstraction
Using the space as a vehicle to facilitate investigations into how a space can realte to time itself
Contemplative process
4 MAR 2019 / JAVI
Feedback on Pendulum: could have extended the build up. He thought the polarisation artefacts were lights.
Recommended reading: Post-photography: The Artist With a Camera - Robert Shore
18 MAR 2019 / SIMON
Showed my "What does it take to make a contemplative practice?" essay. Simon inclined to not steer me to Post-Media / International Art Speak territory.
OBSERVATIONS
My work deals with time.
SUGGESTIONS
- Explore micro-specificity of time. Time spent on a photograph is not just one thing. Map out usage of time when making a photograph (every aspect). Taxonomy of time.
Recommended reading/watching:—
- Berger on Drawing -John Berger.
- Theory of Colours - Goethe
- The Craftsman - Richard Sennett
- The Red Shoes - Powell & Pressburger "The Archers"
- Muybridge (other work)
MISC. TOPICS
- Stereoscopic photographs 19th century. Max. depth of field.
- 2 contacts and a lucky break. (or thereabouts)

Onorato Krebs image. He sees it as gimmickry. cheap. https://tonk.ch/adding-adding-adding/
Need to take the object outside of it’s context. the optical things out of the lab. What does it mean when you use a lenticular sheet in the forest, on my face. if you’re talking about exposing things that are hidden, shift the context to be about politics, sex, gender, etc.
He was drawn to my Instagram photo of #neglected. (Rotterdam basketball court outside Nan Wang’s studio).
If I’m interested in exposing hidden systems. what hidden systems am i interested in exploring?
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Nina Katchadourian - long haul flight works. Seat head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xls3E48SEs&feature=youtu.be
Georgio Morandi

My issue. I am neither drawn to, connect with or inspired by the above two artists. Not sure if it's simply a matter of taste here. Time needed to process.
15 APR 2019 / INE
Trim2 Assessment Debrief I talked about feeling like I need to write an artist statement so that I can distil all my ideas, rather than write about method (which Steve has asked us to do).
ARTIST RECOMMENDATIONS (WORKING WITH LANDSCAPE)
- Sean McFarland
— Use of the landscape & medium together.
— Interview on Youtube through The Photographer's Gallery (London) channel
- Susan Derges
- Dafna Talmor
- Helen Sear
- Florian Meier-Eichen
- Eileen Quinlan
- Lorrain — painter / lenses & prisms
BOOK RECOMMENDATION
- The Photograph as Contemporary Art - Charlotte Cotton
PLACE TO GO WALKING
Oostvoorne coast
REGARDING ESSAY ON METHOD
- Differentiate between methods
- Mention all my methods. Many methods is OK!
GENERAL TIPS
- Write a letter to yourself. Make notes.
- List out the methods
— unaltered photographs — altered photographs during exposure — altered photographs during printing (darkroom) — cameraless methods in the darkroom — enlargerless methods in the darkroom (painting with light) — cameraless methods out "in the field" (cyanotypes) — projection experiments "in the studio"
- Describe the different methods
- For Steve's Text on Method perhaps think about focussing on just a couple of the methods but acknowledge the broadening of method.
- Analyse each experiment. Take the time to do this.
VEIL : This word comes to mind when she thinks of my work. She sees a layering in my work. If I want to talk about poetry in my work this is a good word to keep in mind.
