This video would have been projected onto a wall in a black out room. The projection would have filled the entire wall. The audio would have been through headphones so that the piece can be watched with and without sound. It would be played on a continuous loop.

Bill Viola’s interview on the making of ”The Passions”” “surging wave that comes through people and out into the world” – Passion “you get taken over” “connection to people” – looking at old masters “moment with another person from another time” “representing…loosing control…loosing sense of self” “Silent Mountain” – a video piece, silence, slow motion

Viva Presentation

Bill Viola

I found Bill Viola’s work through the Tate website. I was instantly struck by ‘Four Hands’. I found the presentation of these hands reflective of the frames in my own videos. Also i was intrigued by this minimalistic display. Due to size of the screens the hands are practically life-sized, and their small size creates

Week 10

Linked below are my first edited videos, one in colour and the other in black and white. I wanted to see what difference this would make. I like the way the audio shows the nervous laughs and reflects the nervous behaviour. I feel that the black and white version enhances this anxiety. This is my

This week I participated in another group crit. My feedback reflected my feeling that painting may be limiting my engagement with my focus.

I have payed attention to the thin paint, thick flat brush strokes and washes on white. I will continue with this piece until I am happy

WEEK 7

Link to the research write up below. https://idavies3art.wordpress.com/2019/11/11/chantal-joffe-1969/ In the above link I explain why I am interested in Joffe’s style of work

Chantal Joffe 1969-

Similarly to Maria Lassnig, Chantal Joffe creates large scale pieces, which have an element of the disproportionate, slightly abstracted figure. Their pallets are similar and I find that these pale cooler tones are one I would like to replicate in my own art. I took this screenshot from this video, because I felt it was
