This month, in addition to feedback from tutor and from peers, I made use of my residency and used some of the people there to provide me with feedback on both the work done during the residencycy and also my OCA major project.

Unexpectedly, much of the feedback followed a similar path:.

“I should be more selfish and pay less attention to my audience and focus in on what it is I want to say.”

“make a choice right now about the purpose of your project without asking yourself who or what it is intended for”.

To allow my emotions and creativity to feed one another.

“To not put limits on my expression of a very personal journey into memory and remembrance of Rebecca”.

To think more deeply about my narrative and whether this could be better refined.

Not to treat an exhibition as an end in and of itself but as a blip on a journey.

The comments above are very insightful and help me a lot. Given the issues with my eyesight since my Italian trip, it seems to fit well that I spend time reflecting on these comments as I fight with myself to finesse my sense and presentation of my work.
