Focus of writing portfolio
I would like my writing portfolio to reveal my thoughts and feelings about:
- edge and boundary
- the process of experimenting and making objects that include photographic elements
- theory and practice in art (eg form, line, shape, value, texture, colour, space,) as it relates to my project
- abstraction and constructivism and the application of their characteristics in my art practice
- my progress in building a foundation for future art practice
- other artists’ work
- random things that I think about as I work.
Shape of Writing Portfolio
I would like my writing portfolio to include different kinds of writing. I’ve been refining my ideas over the last 6 weeks and I’m thinking about correspondence, poetry and prose.
Correspondencewill be the documentary writing that will describe what I’ve been doing, thinking and making. The chronological entries in my blog will be a record of my correspondence.
The correspondence will connect my conceptual thinking and the art I am making for my Folio. I will write blog entriesto provide a chronological overview and letters, emails, presentations and notesas the need arises.
I will write to:
- students at PSC
- staff at PSC (Kristian, Daniel, Patricia, David)
- my international mentor (Melinda).
I might also write to:
- artists that I know (Pip Mc Mannus, Jennifer Taylor, Isabel Davies)
- artists that I’d like to know (Zoë Croggon, Danica Chappell, Dirk Stewen, Sean Scully)
- artists who are no longer alive (Mondrian, the Constructivists).
In addition to the correspondence I would like to develop new skills in writing poetry and prose. Here I expect my focus to be on the idea of edge and be shaped by situations, places, history/moments in time, things connected to my research and experience. I will call these pieces of creative writing ‘edgings’. These pieces of writing will be posted to my blog and listed under the ‘edgings’ heading on the right-hand side of the screen. They can be accessed by using the hyperlinks.
