As predicted the show had a manic set up (as do the majority
of exhibitions I imagine!), with last minute alterations and a late night in
the studio the day before the Private View. Despite this however, all our efforts
were well received and confirmed by the encouraging comments made by our
friends and the public who attended the show.
The exhibition as a whole worked well with our chosen ‘theme’
and title ‘Dorothy’. NewRED created a
surreal but fun environment where the audience could enjoy contemporary art that
posed questions but retained a playful continuation alongside its surroundings.
My assemblage piece was a confident conclusion to a 6 month’s
worth of work and research. I felt that I responded to the materials well and portrayed
the visual image featured in my photographic research in a considered manner.
I can now take my work forward in a positive direction in
the knowledge that I have formulated a clear relationship with my practice and
the concepts I strive to present.
I thoroughly enjoyed everything about the ‘Dorothy’ show and
maintain that it was our most ambitious exhibition to date. I look forward to experimenting
and creating a new work using the knowledge gained from ‘Dorothy’.
