My Vision Explained
When I think about the word everyday, I think of all the things I do in a day, and what makes it possible for me to do them. One of the things I realised was my life consist of study, family and friends. I further realised that the love of my family and their ongoing support helps me to free up time so that I can study. My friends often discuss my work with me which helps me to evolve my creative mind. Another thing I realised was how my historical background helps to influence my way of thinking and this has been passed down through the many generations before me. This lead me to consider my identification and where my name come from. It made me question how important my name was to my everyday thoughts as an individual.
My vision is to create an atmosphere which would allow me to watch over those I love. To have my mother and children grouped with my two best friend Dave my dog and Zack my daughters cat. As they are my reason for living. They are who drives me every day to strive to always do better. To push myself beyond my wildest dreams when creating. But I also want to show my clan. My daughter and son with their partners, Mia and Mervyn. Because Mia and Mervyn have become part of me. I treat them as though they were my own. Every day in their own way they inspire me, through their own quest in life to become the people they wish to be. And then I want to add in a couple of significant friends. My childhood friend Nadine, who every day reminds me of how amazing friendship can be, no matter how far apart or where in the world you might be. It doesnt stop you being part of a person's every day life. Finally Deb, my study buddy who I meet through university. Despite being in different states and never haven meet in person, we are in contact daily, discussing different ideas for projects, generally on different topics, helping each other to develop each other's creative mind. Surrounding these groups I image the Duncan Clan Badge, and material of the Scottish Kilt to represent my origins. I see my first name written large across the top in Hebrew to signify when my name comes from. I believe these things are vital to my every day as they are part of who I am. I also want to show some of my recent work, as it is what I do every day of the week right now. Im not sure how but I also want to show the work I am working on for this particular assignment somehow as part of this work. Finally as I am looking over those I love, I see myself telling them how I feel about them through the written word. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Visual and Written Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Testing My Vision First I needed to find photos of my mother, children and animals. Not just any photos but photos of them that meant something to me personally. Photos that showed their true characters to be seen. Once I had selected their photos I had to figure out how I could group them together. To do this I realised I would have to cut out each of the background content of each photo and then arrange them in a way they look as if the photo had been taken that way. I didnt like this on the white background. So I decided to test how it would look against the black. I really liked the contrast created between their pale skin and the dark background. I felt it made them pop out at me, which is good as this reflects what they do every day in my life as they are so precious and significant to me. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Visual and Written Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Testing My Vision I then searched for a photo of myself which would express my intent of watching over those I loved. I recalled this photo of my daughter and I were part of the photo has been washed out by the sun. I felt this would help give the impression I was looking down from above like a metaphor. I felt my smile in the image was more than fitting for the occasion as my work was about those I love and exist in my everyday life.
I then cut myself out of the image in quite an odd shape as I wanted to have the freedom of my hair flowing as it would, without affecting other parts of the image.
My greatest question though was would this image now work as if it were looking over the ones I loved. So I added three new layers. One which was completely black to provide a background.
The second one was with my family added.
The third my self-overlooking them. I did like this look. At first I was concerned that I wasnt looking directly down across the image. But then I realised that as it was acting as a metaphor it should be ok. So I decided to run with the idea. I was not concerned as I felt I could always revisit it and alter it later if need be. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Visual and Written Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Testing My Vision Creating my clan meant finding photos where it reflected my children and their partners relationships on a daily bases. I recalled a day out were we had taken a photo of Mia and Andrew. They were so happy as they had had such a nice family day out.
I then found a photo of Julz and Mervyn from Julieannes graduation as Mervyn was so proud of Julz this day.
Both of these photos inspire me in different ways. One through their love for one another and also their achievements.
I needed to cut out the back grounds from both of the photos, then insert them into my image in such a way they looked as though they were meant to be there. I was concerned how this would come together as I could not cut Dave out of the image without losing part of Andrew. But as much as I love Dave I did not want him in this group image. I added Mia and Andrew and then when I superimposed Julz and Mervyn over top of Dave taking him out of the image. Now that I had the two images placed how I had imagined them I was very happy with how they looked. I felt the pose was very natural. I also liked the way they sat in terms of proximity to myself and the family group. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Visual and Written Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Testing My Vision My friend group incorporates two of the most beautiful women I have ever met. They are like the sisters I never had, but wished for in life. Repeating the process I carefully selected their photos.
I proceeded to cut out the backgrounds leaving only them.
Then with much thought, I superimposed them into my image. I decided to place them close to me as although they are not true family they are the next closes people to me. I felt it was important to show this connection, as they inspire me daily, both in different ways.
When considering their placement, I also wanted to create some visual dynamic so that it did not appear flat. I think the positioning works well. I like the dynamics between the girls. Particularly as one is standing the other sitting. My vision up till this point was very much inspired by Sarah Lucas as she was particular in her choice of subjects, which tended to lean toward political outcomes. I was not after the political side of things, but wanted to choose photos of my family and friends, which I felt reflected my inner self, specially given the work was all about my every day. This was important as I believe much of my personal strength comes from my family and friends. So I often draw on their own strength and qualities to portray my own. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Visual and Written Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Testing My Vision During my research of my name and what it meant I learned that my last name was Scottish and had its own Duncan Clan Badge.
When I had seen this, I almost cried as it reminded me of my late father and his love for ships. My father always said I needed to do something with my cartoons when I was a child, and always inspired me with my art. So I had to add this into my work to represent my father and all my ancestors before him who helped make me the person I am today.
So I decided to sketch it in memory of my father and his love for my work.
I couldnt add it as a square slab so needed to cut away some of the picture. Duncan Clan Badge, 28/082014 Gaylene Duncan Mixed Media Artline 200 Fine 0.4 Artline 90 High Performance Mont Marte Woodless Graphite HB 1000 Sketch Mont Marte B Grey lead Acid & Lignin Free 125 gsm Paper 15 x 17 cm (Corporation 2000-2014) (Corporation 2000-2014) I was very specific when considering the placement of the Duncan Clan Badge due to its symbolic meaning. As my father was the head of the family, I felt it was only fitting for him to be the head of the image. Although my father is not here in body, in spirit he is with me every day and lives on through my mother, my siblings and myself. So he could not be forgotten or left out of my work. At this stage I am not sure if this is the best place for the Duncan Clan Badge, but I believe for now it is the best placement to symbolize its meaning. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Visual and Written Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Testing My Vision My research also lead me to learn that my first name is a variation of the name Gail and is Hebrew. I wanted to show this somehow but was not sure at first how I could do this. I went in search for answers. Looking for my name written in Hebrew, but failed. Finally I found my answer in a multilingual keyboard, which I was able to type my name in English and have it convert Hebrew.
As this was my first name and said who I was, I felt it should be positioned across the top. However when I placed it into the image I really didnt like how bland it looked. I felt it needed something to create interest.
I felt the material from a Scottish Kilt would possibly brighten this up nicely as well as complete my idea of origin.
I decided to create this z type shape around everything in the background connecting the clans with the origin of my names. (Negre 2002-2014) Having positioned the kilt material I am feeling much happier. I can see all my connection coming together as I had imagined them to. (Fatta 2014) Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Visual and Written Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Testing My Vision I wanted to add in a piece of my work to show what I do each day which is create art whilst studying the arts. I decided to use my earlier work from this unit The Study of Ones Self. I had considered colouring the work but decided to leave it black and white to show the mystery and innocents in my work.
When I first placed this work in the image most was hidden , so I decided to see if it would work as a mirror image. This provided an interesting look which I liked.
I also wanted to show this work I was working on being created somehow. This lead to me taking a photo of my laptop showing the working screen with the many layers of this project.
I then superimposed this image three times within the work. Gaylene Duncan The Study of Ones Self June 23, 2014 Art Spectrum black ink (Applied with nib and brush), on Acid & Lignin free 125gsm paper Size A3 Adding some of my own work I felt not only showed my everyday but brought about a lot of interest to the work. It also highlight what my family and friends make possible for me to do each day as a result of their love and understanding. As university is a big part of my every day I wanted to add the Curtin logo into my work. (unijobs.com.au 2014) This step was done prior to the kilt material but needed to explain what was missing, so I have added it here instead.
I felt this placed at the bottom worked well as it was adjacent to all I have parted knowledge with and gained knowledge from. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Visual and Written Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Testing My Vision With the chosen text I have tried to choose my wording carefully to reflect my feelings. I have also been specific with the chosen colours to represent what each word means for me. All text has been place deliberately to coincided with the imagery it was meant for.
The text every day counts because it is done in white as it represents goodness, purity and is considered the colour of perfection. This is how I view this image as a whole.
The text Friendship is pink signify friendship and love we share.
The text The reason for living is red to signify the strength, determination, passion, desire and love my family bring to me. It is also white as for me they are pure and considerate.
The text My Clan is green to show the growth of my family. The text Family is in yellow to represent the joy and happiness my family bring me. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Visual and Written Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Testing My Vision The text was done in black to show the formality of the day's events unfolding. Routine is a big part of my everyday as I have a set schedule which I try to work by. However it is often interrupted by appointments. I did not chose to write the appointment into my routine as I wanted to keep this a happy piece of work.
I began by writing out my daily routine.
I wanted to show this in my work and felt it would be great to have it reflecting back of the mirror at me as a symbolic measure of my day.
I also made it reflective with in the work on the opposite side. I created a family tree to place over top of my image surrounding my family members symbolic of the many clans. This shows my family ties in my everyday life. It is green to symbolise growth, harmony, and fertility, with in my family structure. For me the everyday consists of a world full of study. I work all hours of a day depending on how I feel at the time. This may mean working in the weary hours of the morning. I work just when things come to mind. Creativity cannot be forced. It must be endeared as it comes to you. This way real art with real heart is developed. It is my love of art that drives me. It is my need to express who I am to those that support me. Without the support of those I love, my art would not be possible. This is why they are in my everyday painting. They help to inspire my true and honest reflection of self. They are my world as I know it. They are my reason for living. My clan, my friends. They are everything to me. This painting is a dedication to them and their strong commitment to me as their child, mother and friend. Everyday counts because of them. As without them I am nothing. Nobody, just an empty soul. Thank You for being my mother, child and Friend. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Visual and Written Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Mind Map Finally I return to myself. I wanted to make this a tribute to those I love. I decided to use the written word to express these feelings based on Ralph Ueltzhoeffer technique used in his work David Beckham "Textportrait" (2011).
In doing so I created text to superimpose over my own face. My idea behind this was that it would give the impression that I was speaking to them directly, through my written text.
The texts read as below. Project Five: Ex 1 & 2 Artists and Other Research Project 5: Ex 1 Large Scale Line Drawing of A Whole Body Self Portrait Artist 1 Jenny Sage Jenny Sage body of works focus mainly on abstract landscapes, but occasionally she turns her mind to large- scale portraits. Her works investigate her experiences she has come across whilst walking the country, reading and her own cultural experiences (Engledow).
My Response Jenny Sage uses a combination of very loose, soft, hard contour lines and curved lines, which vary in thickness. Sage also uses different shades in tones to depict the emotional and physical appearance of her sitters. It is this combination of techniques that make her works successful. Her work reminds me of Rembrandts drawing A women sitting up in bed due to the type of line structure use in both pieces of works. For me the work captures my emotions as it really captures the persons personality by interpreting the subject through traditional mark making and observation. The variation in these lines and the tonal vales used with them is what I find most interesting. As I have never tried this style of portraits and find it so impressive I wouldnt change anything as I would rather have a go at trying to learn the style and techniques instead.t A Woman Sitting Up In Bed C. 1635 14.8 X 19.1 Cm Grininger Museum, Groningen (Rijn C. 1635) Jenny Sages Untitled (Study for 'Emily Kame Kngwarreye with Lily') 1993, charcoal on paper, Type: Frame Height: 58.6, Width: 43.4, Type: Sheet, Height: 30.4, Width: 22.8 National Portrait Gallery, Canberra (Sages 1993)
Project Five: Ex 1 & 2 Artists and Other Research Project 5: Ex 1 Large Scale Line Drawing of A Whole Body Self Portrait Artist 2 Vernon ah Kee Vern ah Kee is one of the Kuku Yalandji, Waanji, Yidindji and Gugu Yimithirr peoples. His body of art considers Australian popular culture, particularly in reference to the black and white division being opposed or entirely different. His work often uses text as a visual context along with humour, cutting the black, exposing mottos, often causing negative connotations for the Australian audience (Eagle 2005). (Vitoria 2011) My Response Vern ah Kee took his interest in Barak as a person and used this as an opportunity to produce a portrait as a way of understanding who Barak was as a person both physically and how he fitted into Melbournes political landscape (Vitoria 2011). He used his knowledge of Baraks physical and impressive presence, (Vitoria 2011) to focus his work on and to really showcase how active he was in the community, how intense his thinking was and how his life had great purpose. It was these things that made it possible for his audience to connect emotionally to his work. It was also these things that made his work so interesting. The thing that is interesting about Vern ah Kee work is that he started of drawing small portraits, but seen himself as a pedantic renderer, something he didnt wish to be as a person. As a result he moved into doing large-scale portraits which gave him the freedom to be loose in his style, but still achieve his high standards. But he was smart in terms of sticking to mediums he understood well. In this case he used charcoal and conte crayons. The other advantage of changing to large-scale portraits was it allowed Vern ah Kee the prospect to include greater detail to the construction of the face, lines, and character. He was able to focus himself more on the skin, face lines, hair, colour of his eyes and skin and choose what he wanted to exaggerate or leave be. At this size the fine points turn out to be considerably more intense. The other thing that makes Vern ah Kee work very successful is how he connects his subjects in his drawings by asking who they are. And considering how they fit into society. He also tries to explain himself and his cultural up bringing through his work. Vern ah Kees work doesn't really reminds me of anyone's work as I find his work very individual and unique to himself. In doing a similar work, the only things I might change would be size and type of medium. I am very much a realist myself, so this work sits nicely with my realist ways in terms of how he manages to capture the subjects energy and personality. I also like his use of loose horizontal, vertical and curved lines, overlapping to create different skin tones and form, and I would like to give this a go.

(125 x 70cm.) , Executed in 1997 (DUMAS (B. 1953) Marlene Dumas is a well-known artist who lives and works out of Amsterdam and is best known for her peculiarly fluid stroke of ink and watercolour wash. In her painting of Mae West she has chosen to represents her in a seductive pose giving emphasis to her voluptuous figure, eyes and lips. Infused with elusive metallic sheen, her tinted is faded out to a ghostly pink-purple the closer it moves to the top of the figure. This is intended to give the impression of Mae West white fur stole and blonde hair connecting to Mae West history with Hollywood glamour. Her work stems from sexuality and aspiration in order to address questions of sex, gender and inequality (DUMAS (B. 1953), through exploring the uncertainties intrinsic in the methodology behind female sexuality and how its depicted in the Western culture.
My Response Her work is highly successful because she draws on her subjects narrative material and mixes this with cultural icons. Marlene Dumas also helps her audience to feel her subject by giving reverence to who they consider themselves to be by drawing on feelings and connections they have similar to her subjects in this case Mae West. As an artist she herself links her own dyed hair to the iconic blond hair of Mae West. What is interesting about her work is how she has decided to stress the importance of cultural desire and response to the female sex symbol. Her work reminds me of Jess de Wahles work as both look to the glamour and iconic to help draw emotions with their audience. If I were to do a similar work Id want to explore the common person rather than the iconic to show that the impact of sex, gender and inequality and how its depicted affect all women of all race and class. Jess de Wahls (Portrait of London based artist, hair dresser and feminist Jess Wahls), watercolour, goache on watercolour paper, 60x70 cm, 2012 (Wahls 2012) Lucian Freud lives and works in London and is consider a figurative painter. His painting of After Cezanne is a take-off, of Paul Cezannes painting Afternoon in Naples, and acts as a detailed investigation of the work. The work varies in terms of its scale, painterly treatment and how it stresses its importance on the placement of its figures and object. Freud explores through a contemporary vision the issues of dependency and individuality, sexual arrangement and uncertainty, isolation and seclusion (Australia 2014) Project Five: Ex 1 & 2 Artists and Other Research Project 5: Ex 1 Large Scale Line Drawing of A Whole Body Self Portrait Artist Extra Lucien Freud Lucian Freud After Czanne 1999-2000. Oil on canvas, 214.0 x 215.0 cm (irregular). National Gallery of Australia.(Australia. 1999-2000) Paul CZANNE, France 1839 1906 L'Aprs-midi Naples , [Afternoon in Naples] [Afternoon in Naples (L'Apres- midi a Naples)] c.1875, oil on canvas 37.0 (h) x 45.0 (w) cm, frame 62.3 (h) x 70.7 (w) x 10.5 (d) cm, NGA 1985.460 (CZANNE c.1875) My Response Lucian Freuds work is very successful due to need to turn what was once a simple frolic into a brave shuffle on the floor of a messy studio, by having Freddy his son turned away from the female, who was there to provoke or comfort him. But he also added a section of canvas to allow himself to add an extra character woman whom acted as a servant bringing tea to them both. This added much interest to the work. Another thing that makes his work successful and captures the emotional attachment of the audience is his deliberate over use of brown paint and ability to treat the human as an object removing any attempt to make something that is no, keeping in touch with his own realist views of the matter, resulting in his ability to describe skin to be successful influencing his viewers that there is nothing immoral about the scene. Whats interesting is the expressive report of the duo as it advances when the man acknowledges the women movement and both the due recognise the entrance of refreshments, as potentially the scene could be read in many unintended ways. The work naturally reminds me of Paul Cezannes painting Afternoon in Naples give its a paraphrase of the work. If I were to do a similar piece of work, I think I would try changing the location keeping in line with Freuds actions, but also altering the servent keeping in line with both Freuds and Cezannes idea which seemed to derive from the presence of the black cat in Edouard Manets Olympia 1863 painting (CZANNE c.1875). Egon Schiele is known as one of the important figure in the Austrian Expressionism. He was often influence by his mentor Gustav Klimt and the Vienna Secession, a movement which explored the prospects of art beyond the boundaries of educational custom. He had a unique style which was extremely personal and expressive. Around 1910 he started to explore the human form producing a painting known as Self-Portrait Standing which showcased his raw and new radical style, unveiling sexually and psychologically intense themes. (Henry 2011)
My Response What made his work successful was his ability to leave the background plain featuring his body fully nude in the forground, facing his audiences with a particularly abnormal bend in the viewpoint of his right arm and his left positioned abnormally behind his back. Also his intense use of lines made it possible for him to portray the skin in such a way it give the impression that the skin had been scrubbed raw, revealing the muscles underneath. His work doesnt remind me of any other due to having such extremely rare qualities. He tends to spark emotions in his audience through his painful pout of his face particularly due to him choosing to look straight into his audience confronting them. But also he chooses to express his raw laboured body in an authentic and honest way. This is an interesting approach as he places everything on the surface for the naked eye to view in order to illustrate the true face of the contemporary man. In a similar work I would try to depict the hardship of the female during child birth and the immense stress placed on her body at the time. But I would take on board his technique as I could clearly see the female stopped over, exhausted looking out at her physician begging for help. Project Five: Ex 1 & 2 Artists and Other Research Project 5: Ex 1 Large Scale Line Drawing of A Whole Body Self Portrait Artist Extra Egon Schiele Egon Schieles, Self-Portrait Standing - 1910 Gouache, watercolor and pencil with white highlighting Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna (Schiele 1910) Project Five: Ex 1 & 2 Artists and Other Research Project 5: Ex 1 Large Scale Line Drawing of A Whole Body Self Portrait Artist Extra David Hammons David Hammons Spade (Power to the Spade), 1969 Body print 53 1/4 35 1/4 in 135.3 89.5 cm Tilton Gallery (HAMMONS 1969) David Hammons is an installation and performance artist as well as a sculptor. His body of work focuses on resolving contemporary racial issue which he presents to his audience through having the American flag adjacent to the image resistant to cultural and racial stereotypes. (Falconer 2009)
My Response His work is highly successful due to his introduction of the spade, which he uses as a metaphor for race adopting a pejorative term used by whites and then recontextualises his idea so that it opposes racial stereotypes. His body prints tend to remind you of x-rays due to their translucent appearance and immense details, created using grease placed on the body and directly imprinted on paper (Falconer 2009). His work triggers emotions through his retrieval of the ethnic slue, which is also what partly makes his work so interesting. His work is also interesting because of its unusual appearance. I think when doing a similar work it would be interesting to create the image using actual x-ray images, combined with part body prints to see if the message would be equally as powerful. Project Five: Ex 1 & 2 Artists and Other Research Project 5: Ex 1 Large Scale Line Drawing of A Whole Body Self Portrait Artist Extra Einhard Zang Einhard Zang, Polyptych / acrylic / oil pastel on wood 4 parts of 20 x 30 cm, front and back (Zang Unknown) Einhard Zang is a contemporary German body print artist. His body of work are focused on technology, collage, lithography and prints displaying the human form.
My Response What makes his work so successful is his ability to stay focused on the model, as it ensures that the print is always about them solely. This then enables the audience to become emotionally charged by interpret the skin as clothing, as their bodies act as a form of print stamp, allowing them to become emotionally attached through their own experience of skin and clothing. What makes the work interesting is his choice of colours, his choice of light and dark contours, and the way he decides to paint things over the top or collage notable parts to produce elusive eroticism. They are relating to pure beauty and connect secondarily to the yearnings of both Einhard Zang himself and the model. If I were to do a similar work, I would consider using oil and dirt or some other material other than paint, to see the type of contrast it would have in comparison to Einhard Zang work. My idea was influenced by Einhard Zang concept of interpret the skin as clothing, only I was trying to use the washes and lines to interpret the body itself.

(Ferris 2013-14) Katie Ferris body of work investigates the uncertain identification and portrayal of the body through self-portraits and signatures. Allowing us to see her in many forms such a sexual and non-sexual until each form is defined. She is often inspired by Yves Klein's theatrical works, sculpture studies by Jasper Johns, and David Hammons weighted body prints(Russo 2014).She is best known for her large-scale painting and the way they lap over one another, into shining pictorial spaces. Her body prints where literally body size scale painted in monotone and they had a quality of bringing one into direct and instant involvement with something exciting.
My Response Katie Ferris body prints are successful due to the method she uses to create them which involved her touching her oiled body against the paper, whilst lying on the floor of her studio and then scattering powdered pigments on the paper to disclose her personal imprint. Her end results bring to mind x-rays or even photographs. She spake emotions through the way she considers her composition, mark making and space. Whats interesting is she removes all narratives from her work. In doing a similar work, I think I would consider change the paint pigments to maybe charcoal to see if the effects still result in looking like x-rays or photocopies.

Much of his earlier works which investigated spatial illusions used an unusual worms-eye perspective such as The Holy Trinity with the Virgin, St. John and Two Donors,.(Uffiz 2007-2014). Andrea Mantegna toyed with perspective leading to him lowering the horizon line resulting in grander monumentality, making his painting appear similar to that of sculptures. At one point he drew on his knowledge of perspective and foreshortening to create the illusion of a three- dimensional image on a two-dimensional surface, which was a ceiling, giving the final impression of open skies. His greatest illusion is found in Cristo Scorto or the dead Christ, (hrodriguez5 2012)
My Response Andrea Mantegna has successfully conveyed his message due to his restricted tonal palate offering only pink, grey and golden-brown. He uses Christs body presented on a coarse marble slab, which his placed in a Suffocating morgue-like space featuring very cold dark walls, which results in the exaggeration of the whiteness of the body. He further fooled around with the rules of perspective leading to a much larger head circumference and a powerful foreshortening of the body, subsequently giving the presence that the body is much heavier and much greater in size. The work reminds me of a man lying in a hospital bed. It sparks emotions for a couple of reasons. First the bereaved people have tear-stained faces filled with heartache, but also the fact that it is easy to understand the suffering that Christ has experience before death. Andrea Mantegna unusual vantage point also sparks feelings as it places his audience at the feet of the subject making it interesting as it then forces the audience to feel more compassionate for the subject. His detailed wounds on his hands and feet brought about from the nails used during the crucifixion really compel and reinforce the viewers empathy for the subject. In doing a similar work, Id certainly have a go at toying with the perspective and having a larger head and heavier body, but Id also have a go at many other different angles to really explore the different angles of foreshortening. (jonathan5485 2011) Andrea work will inform my work as I will adopt his idea of playing around with the perspective. Project Five: Ex 1 & 2 Artists and Other Research Project 5: Ex 2 Structural Line Drawing Incorporating Space, Depth and Tone Artist 2 - Fred Hatt Zones 1, 2002, by Fred Hatt, Size unknown, Drawing Life by Fred Hatt, (Hatt 2002) Fred Hatt body of work considers figurative drawing, painting, experimental video, photography, body art, performance, exploring light, movement and energy, with the main focus being on feeling and movement. He places great importance on the process and practice, rather than the conceptual or iconographic. His work investigates the limits between performance and visual arts, traditional craft and contemporary technology, with his focus always on the observation of energy expressed through light, form, movement and gesture. (Gallery 2014)
My Response Fred Hatt is successful in his delivery of his idea because of his ability to see the organic physical forms as expressions of patterns and energy. Further is ability to take this a step further to focus on the focal points, which are organized along a central column. His work doesnt really remind me of anything else, as I just see it as unique to him. I think his different use of coloured medium to highlight aspects of the body is how he draws people into his work. What makes his work interesting is the way he views the associations and proportion as sequences of transverse contours receding in space (Hatt 2010). If I was to do a similar work Id have to try to make these connections with clothing as I am not much into nudes, but would like to try to establish the type of connections he makes in the proportions. Fred Hatts work will inform my work as I will use his organic physical forms as expressions of patterns and energy as a means of segregating the clothing worn in the design. Project Six: Ex 1 & 2 Artists and Other Research Project 6: Ex 1 Drawing Transforming Microscopic Body Part to Macroscopic Artist 1 - Hiroyuki Doi Hiroyuki Doi Untitled (HD 2210) 2010 ink on paper h18.0 x w15.0 (Doi 2010) Hiroyuki Doi is a Japanese artist based in Tokyo whos self-taught and creates drawings with the use of mulberry and other types of bark created on Japanese paper. He is best known for his mysterious and emotional abstractions which are created through his building up of random clusters of minute circles.
My Response His work is highly successful due to his connection with Zen Buddhisms and his ability to interpret the universe through the use of his symbolic circles, creating enlightenment which goes beyond the stresses of the material world. His work reminds me of the aboriginal journey often portrayed in painted images, although the journey is accompanied by fluffy clouds. His work sparks the emotions of his viewers through his rich visual texture, alluding the shifting of the soul, universe, and the living all within harmony. It is this joining of harmony, soul and universe that makes his work ever so interesting to view. In doing a similar work I would consider his symbolic circles and turn them into irregular shapes with intend to depict the journey of a particular work. I will use his work to inform my work on the Finger Print to tell the story of my identity. Project Six: Ex 1 & 2 Artists and Other Research Project 6: Ex 1 Drawing Transforming Microscopic Body Part to Macroscopic Artist 2 - Georgia OKeeffe White Rose with Larkspur 1927 Georgia OKeeffe 101.6 x 76.2 cm (40 x 30 in.) Oil on canvas Saundra and William H. Lane Galleries (Gallery 334) (O'Keeffe 1927) Georgia OKeeffe was a modernist painter who deviated from realism in order to prompt her own idealistic style. Her work was greatly informed by her love of nature which sparked her ground breaking style. Her body of work focused mostly on flowers, which catered around her feelings rather than her learned knowledge. (Inc Unknown)
My Response Georgia OKeeffe was extremely successful in her delivery of her work due to her transformation of contours into fascinating abstractions, brought about by her ability to capture what was important about them in a way that demanded attention. Her work reminds me of a rose itself, but in its softest possible form. She brings about emotion in her viewers by her ability to worship flowers by amplifying them and show casing their exquisitely beautiful colours through a limited pallet, provoking greater interest through her choice of view point. I dont believe I would change anything if I were to do a similar work. Rather I would strive to meet these exquisitely beautiful colours possibly with a different view point in mind. I will use Georgia OKeeffe work to inform my work of the Finger Print, by limiting my pallet and trying hard to achieve the same level of demand in my own work. Project Six: Ex 1 & 2 Artists and Other Research Project 6: Ex 2 View Finder Drawings Exploring The Notion of The Body in Space Artist 1 - Rosemary Laing
My Response Rosemary Laings wasnt too successful in her delivery of the work as it is hard to know if the suspended bride is on her way to heaven or about to plunge to the ground. Her work reminds me of angles ascending on the heaven. It sparks the emotions of her audience as the work is mysterious and perplexing, rather violent and unexplained, however it is interesting as it begs us to question if its a metaphor for the loss of ones self or intended to spark discussion about domestic violence within relationships. If I were to do a similar work, Id try to be clearer in my intentions, whilst still providing an element of mystery. (Wales 2002) I will take what I have learned from Rosemary to inform my work by trying hard to ensure that the interpretation my work portrays is accurate in terms of my intention.

Tracey Moffatt Adventure, #5 2004 Watercolour on paper Approx. 90 x 120cm (Moffatt 2004) Contemporary artist Tracey Moffatt, lives and works in New York, but often returns to Australia. She is Australias best known Contemporary artist. (Queenslands Art Gallery 2004). Her body of work on the Adventure Series was inspired by three sources. A 1970s Australian televisions show The Rovers an adventure comic strips, and also The Flying Doctors series.
My Response
Tracey Moffatts work is successful partly because of her work being vague yet comprehensive in nature, But also because of her choice of medium (Film and photography) and the way in which her work can be interpreted from different viewpoints. Her work reminds me of a romantic night taking place in the desert as dusk. She sparks emotions in her viewers by generating uncertainties regarding the politics of her work. She also draws from these uncertainties by making them familiar to dreams they may have had in past or even using images they might remember. Whats interesting is her work can slot into post-modernism, post- colonial and even post-feminism. The fact that I like that her work can be interpreted in so many different ways I dont feel I would change anything if I was to do a similar piece. Instead I think I would aspire to achieve such a quality in my own work.(Wales 2005) Traceys work will inspire my own work in terms of how I set out to choose my products, as I believe that Traceys very careful approach to her products is what makes her work stand out so much. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Artists and Other Research Project 7: Ex 1 Analysis of Two Artists Who use Text in Their Work Artist 1 - Lesley Dill Dill, Lesley A Word Made Flesh: Throat 1994 photolithograph with etching on mulberry paper, hand-sewn on Arches buff paper plate: 25 3/4 x 21 1/2 in.; 65.4 x 54.6 cm (Dill 1994) Lesley Dill is work consist of photography, sculptures and performances. Her body of work requires her to use a range of media and methods to explore subjects such as language, body and transformational experiences. (Dill Unknown) Lesleys Dills work A Word Made Flesh records Dickinsons words on to the body of a woman. When transcribing the words she makes them ghostly like in sections so that only the parts she wishes to be seen remain seen. The result is text and images merged together to producing powerful, yet distressingly vulnerable effects. (Chicago)
My Response Lesley Dills work is highly successful due to her brilliance in taking Dickinsons words and placing them on the womens face and chest, choosing which words to make clear to her audience in order to provoke powerful, challenging images, causing her audience to become vulnerable. Her work reminds me of a very graphic protest sign. Her work sparks emotion by its deliberate play on words, and through using images we can all relate to. What interesting is her chose of words I, body, a, soul, which she selects to highlight and not make ghostly. These word a really powerful and help to steer the mind into a specific direction. Rather than making changes if I was to do a similar piece of work, Id rather take from my lesson here and learn to highlight the words that truly impact my subject. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Artists and Other Research Project 7: Ex 1 Analysis of Two Artists Who use Text in Their Work Artist 2 - Barbara Kruger Untitled (Your Body Is A Battleground) Artist: Barbara Kruger Date of Work: 1989 Medium: Photographic silkscreen on vinyl Size: 112112 (284.5284.5cm) (Kruger 1989) Barbara Kruger is an American designer, writer and conceptual artist. Her body of work incorporates photograph-based images which she explored the concept of power through the mass-media images, taking on board their iconography and slogans and analysing them both verbally and visually. She is greatly influenced by television, everyday life and her knowledge gained through her graphic designing training. (ART 2014 ) Her work Untitled (Your Body Is a Battleground) takes a face and crops it to display a positive and negative side but all the audience is capable of seeing is a womens face. She then disturbingly superimposes the text in white letters with red highlights Your body is a battleground , which she created in support of the Womens March on Washington in 1989 which addressed a womens right to choose. (KIM 2014)
My Response Barbara Krugers work is successful due to her ability to show through her use of text Your body is a battleground merged with the womens face that there is a difference between the fight for choice and political battles. Her image shows us how her body acts as a battle zone for the womens personal struggle for an in. Meaning she crusades outside her body for the right to choose but it directly affects inside her body. The work reminds me of a masked woman. What sparks our emotions is her choice of subject as the subject is a perfect representation of beauty, showcasing what societies understanding of women to be. Whats interesting though is as a result of Barbara dividing the figure the view is forced to see only the stereotypical image that society consider beautiful in a women. If doing a similar work I would strive to take on the activist in her, to source out the most meaningful words to coincide with my subject at the time, and try allude my audience in such a way they have no choice but to see the reality of the connections instead of the political view. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Artists and Other Research Project 7: Ex 2 A Work Which Responds to Text Artist 1 - Jean-Michel Basquiat Jean-Michel Basquiat (American, 1960 - 1988) Untitled (Pecho/Oreja), 1982 - 1983 Acrylic, oil stick and paper collage on canvas 188 x 183 cm. (72 x 72 in) (Basquiat 1982 - 1983) Jean-Michel Basquiat work took from the Greek, Roman and African art and Jazz pop culture (ART 2014). He was most influenced by his friend and fellow artist Andy Warhol. Basquiat would juxtapose his influences in a piece of work joined with images and text to produce a flow of visual information. He went by the tag SAMO as a teenager producing t-shirts and postcards.(ART 2014). Hi Untitled work Pecho/Oreja, demonstrates a theory, which is conflicted with harshness, and relationship which are difficult to understand and combines elements to form a whole system. The head is a decorative design that describes a self-portrait, skull-like object believed to be magical or sacramental. (BASQUIAT 2008)
My Response Jean-Michel Basquiat work is successful due to its iconic marks, his appreciation of beauty, along with his set of principles, which underlie his work and artistic movements. His work reminds me of a map taking in different aspects of his location. His work sparks emotion through his extremely unusual facial qualities. It is made interesting through his juvenile scribbles of a youngster along with his symbolic representation of ancient African reliquary masks, which were significant influences in his life growing up. I like his work as it is so wouldnt want to change a thing, but if I were to do a similar work I would try to use these juvenile scribbles of a youngster to describe another element in the work. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Artists and Other Research Project 7: Ex 2 A Work Which Responds to Text Artist 2 - Deborah Grant, Detail from God's Voice in the Midnight Hours, 2013. Oil, archival ink, enamel, paper, Arches W.C. paper, linen, and birch wood on 24 panels, 24 x 18 x 1 1/2 inches each. Courtesy the artist and Steve Turner Contemporary, Los Angeles. (Grant 2013) Deborah Grant is a contemporary artist born in Ontario, Canada, in 1968 and currently lives and works in New Your city. Her work combines historical events along with personal experiences that make reference to contemporary social and political issues. Grant selects her materials from a variety of sources such as magazines, comic books, published text and historical art reference books. She then uses this material to translate through her signature drawing method, creating personal, non-linear narratives, which explores cultural identity, race and politics. Her work titled Christ You Know it Aint Easy!! is an installation, which adopted its title from Lennon McCartney song The Ballad of John and Yoko. She merges paintings, drawings and collages to translate the imaginary meeting between Mary A Bell, the African-American folk artist and Henri Matisse the renowned modernist painter. Grant then creates graphic silhouettes along with elaborate line drawings and collages photographic rudiments, which she transposes through her story telling a different interpretation of the heritage of modernist painting one not told in the history books (Gilman. 2014).
My Response Deborah Grant work is successful due to her ability to transpose stories in to paintings. Her work reminds me of a Christmas card with a sleigh and snow. Her work sparks emotion through her incredible story telling qualities. What makes her work interesting is her ability to combine graphic silhouettes alongside elaborate line drawings and photographic rudiments collaged together. Her work is amazing so I would not change a thing if doing a similar work. Instead I would try to adopt her ability to combine simular mediums to tell my story. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Artists and Other Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Artist 1 - Sarah Lucas Sarah Lucas, Geezer, 2002 Medium: Oil, cut-and-pasted printed paper, and pencil on wood 31 7/8 x 29 1/2" (81 x 74.9 cm), MoMA (Lucas 2002) Sarah Lucas is an English installation artist and photographer, whose body of work is highly provocative. Her work explores people through the dislikes and mistrusted media culture merged with the ready-made to confront issues of typical stereotype sexual ways. She takes the English language and makes it capable of developing a natural attraction to earlier instants such as Situationism and Surrealism. She is also well known for doing confrontational self-portraits. (ART 2014) Her artwork Geezer 2002, investigates her own identity, success and marketing, by taking a look at the star soccer player Charlie George who represents her dreams of stardom and escape. Her work was dedicated to Charlie George whose character was often considered to appear true but not always true as a subject. This portrait somewhat resemblance Lucas herself, and interestingly her work generally explores being both male and female (hermaphroditic) as a personal identity, which produces a double meaning. Sarahs work can be read in a couple of ways. First as a self-portrait, this connects her history to Charlie George and secondly as a political critique. (ART 2014)
My Response Sarah Lucas work is successful because of her ability to work from a personal level, to see her in others and draw from their inspiration in order to find her own. Her ability to choose a character to identify with thats character can be questionable; highlighting her personal identity producing a double meaning, eliciting her audience to react and search for answers, providing great interest in the work. But her work is also successful due to her use of ready-made materials (advertisements) in this case the logo of Georges team, as it seems to act like a product which can be bought or sold to both the sports body and the general public. The work reminds me of someone standing in front of a bookcase maybe dreaming of playing soccer. It sparks emotions by appealing to its fans by allowing them to identify with famous sports people. Whats interesting though is how Lucas draws on her fans own identities through their own understandings and connections with sport stars to produce just a blank canvas, making the forehead symbolic, evoking a sense of sadness or regret, consisting of small disconnected or incomplete parts of success. Making the work in part a celebration of Charlie George in terms of the realisation of dreams, but also depicting aspects of late- stage capitalism which Lucas perfectly harmonises the political commentary through her collages. In a similar work I would drop the political connection instead choosing my subject to reflect my inner self and draw on their qualities to portray my own. Project Seven: Ex 1 2 & 3 Artists and Other Research Project 7: Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday Artist 2 - Ralph Ueltzhoeffer David Beckham "Textportrait" (2011) - Ralph Ueltzhoeffer 2011. Standard text: Wikipedia.org (2001-2011) . Courtesy the artist. (Ueltzhoeffer 2011) Ralph Ueltzhoeffer is a Mannheim-based artist whose body of work consists of installations and photography. His works investigate the human aspect through both black and white and coloured photographs merged with profiles. (Unknown 2009) The phishing project is based on a musicological style installation which main focus is on pictures merged with biographical components. His works use both image and the written word equally when creating a portrait. The technique is known as visual representation of an individual or situation (Ueltzhoeffer 2011). He uses words, texts (names) to discuss the characteristics of human reasoning and to cover up the everyday unchanging opinions. He devotes his artist investigation to resolving the relationship between the written and visual information through the digital world and its significance in connection to the data. His need to merge the written with the image reflects on the globalization and digitalization of data. (Ueltzhoeffer 2011) Text portraits are incapable of being separate. The type face relates to DOS input visually.
My Response Ralph Ueltzhoeffers work is highly successful due to his excellent use of visual representation along with his ability to research in depth. Because of this clarity his work it is easy for his audience to understand. His work reminds me of the old DOS screens when they had loads of text presented on them. The work sparks emotions by using a familiar face for people to identify with. Whats interesting is that for me I see the look of a DOS screen before I see the images of David Beckham. When I asked my 20 year old daughter whats interesting for her all she could see was David Beckham. She couldnt understand the reference to the DOS screen as its not something she is accustoming to. This makes me believe that the work relies heavily on prior learned knowledge. In doing a similar work, I would use black text over coloured image to see its effects. The text would be of a nature relevant to the concept at the time. Self-Evaluation Discuss Your Learning Outcomes This unit I feel has brought about my greatest learning throughout university. It has challenged me to look at drawing from a whole new perspective. At times I question if what I was doing was actually drawing. A prime example of this was when asked to do a collage. For me prior to this, drawing meant picking a pencil and applying it to paper. But whilst this challenged my belief it wasnt long after I started working on the collage that I could understand its connections to drawing. I learned through this work that art has limitations for me. That whilst I love art there are area Id rather not venture. This is possibly one of those areas as I found it frustrating. I was however surprised that despite my frustration I was still able to push myself to the extreme to create what I felt was a very good representation of a tonal collage of my hall way. It also opened my eyes to the many different mediums that can be used in a drawing and how this can really bring forth those special elements that make a piece of work a true work of art. The unit also challenged me to use mediums I had avoided in the past such as charcoal and ink. I now have a new found love for both of these mediums which I know I will take with me in future works. It has opened my eyes to some very simple rules about drawing, which I feel are vital in producing good art. Such as the different types of perspective, considering placement, questioning if colour is required, but equally as important where I myself fit within the context of the work. For me this unit has brought to the light the type of artist I wish to be. Something I had been questioning for a long time, but was never sure of. I can finally see in my work that I am a realist, with an activist mind and create best when considering humanitarian subjects. This clarification will help me to remain true to who I am in future works. It will allow me to move forward with an open mind, begging to be challenged and pushed to the extreme as I realise it is when I am pushed that my learning outcomes far exceed any fears I may have going into a piece of work. Despite my hard journey in this unit due to my health complications I have really enjoyed the experience and can only hope that future units will be as insightful as this one.

Your feedback always means so much to me. I am thrilled my message was so clear. You pay me so many complements mate. I don't always get such clear insightful information. I find when I work on something I am truly passionate about I tend to get it right. So I think the trick is to work on things your passionate about. I am sure I will one see your amazing work in gallery's soon also. Do keep in touch mate. Cheers Gaylene Thread:Ex 2 Response to textPost:RE: Ex 2 Response to textAuthor: Phillip ElwinPosted Date:August 27, 2014 6:09 PMStatus:Published Hi Gaylene, What an amazing journey of technological discovery you have described! You have a great talent for persistence and attention to artistic detail. You must have searched through dozens of photos to select the ones you were satisfied with.You have put a great amount of thought into this piece and have produced a really polished result. I wish I could see the origninal work enlarged to a 150 x 150 cm frame. Of course, that is not possible on a computer! Is it possible to cut the circle into just four quarters and display each quarter on a single slide with no commentary alongside? In that way, the individual photos could be more easily examined on my small computer screen. Congratulations on this final work! Cheers, Phillip Thread:Ex 2 Response to textPost:RE: Ex 2 Response to textAuthor: Gaylene DuncanPosted Date:August 28, 2014 5:52 PMStatus:Published Hi Phillip thanks heaps for coming in and giving me some feedback. It is always appreciated and so insightful. I did spend many hours as felt they needed to really identify what it was I was looking for. So worth the time spent. I agree would be great if could get that size on a laptop. But I have broken it down to the four for you to see. I do hope this helps. I think it could look interesting in four separate frames this way. Do stay in tough Phillip thanks again mate.

The photos you have selected are quite striking - the horribly wounded children, the father, the mother, the soldier, the politicians, the demonstrators for a free press. I appreciate the way you have alternated close up photos with mid distance images. You have taken great care to acknowledge the sources and, in a sense, to honour the heroicity of the photo journalists. Go well in your next units, Cheers, Phillip Thread:Ex 2 Response to textPost:RE: Ex 2 Response to textAuthor: Gaylene DuncanPosted Date:August 29, 2014 3:26 AMStatus:Published Hi Phillip your most welcome friend.

Cheers Gaylene Attachment: Project 7 Ex 3 A Text Work Exploring The Everyday for DB.pptx (12.164 MB) Reply Quote Mark as Unread Thread:3 Text and the EverydayPost:RE: 3 Text and the EverydayAuthor: Phillip ElwinPosted Date:August 30, 2014 9:17 PMStatus:Published Hi Gaylene, That's a monumental work! You embody so much of your self, family, origins, daily routines, your life and loves in that work. You express who you are in the way you have assembled it - with care, energy, balance, inventiveness. You have fused technology with hand crafted work. Amazing generosity of spirit! A wonderful work Gaylene! I hope that in all this intense work, you do not take a toll on your health. Are you energised by the creative work you do? If your spirit is lifted, how does your body respond? I am not asking these hoping for an answer. What are the limits for a mother, a student, an artist, a professional? These are questions I ask myself too. Cheers, Phillip Reply Quote Mark as Unread Thread:3 Text and the EverydayPost:RE: 3 Text and the EverydayAuthor: Gaylene DuncanPosted Date:August 31, 2014 12:54 AMStatus:Published Hi Phillip thanks for taking a look mate. I really didn't think anyone would come in now given it's so late so means so much to me. Your feedback as always is amazing and so insightful Phillip thank you. Based on your feedback I feel really content with this work now as your comments reflect much of my feeling during it. You always give me something to think about and I am so going to miss that. I have learned a lot about myself through this unit as a direct result of your questions Phillip thank you. Once more your question here gives me lots to think about. I can actual answer part of this already. When I in the moment doing the actual work its like Im in heaven on a complete high. I zone out of the world around me and just give myself to the work. But when I am finished I find myself exhausted in a good way though. Art is my salvation. My time for me. So I tend to create at night or when my grown children are not home. This way I have time for them as a mother, uninterrupted from my creating or study. As a student though I find it exhaust me as I want to do well and set a high standard for myself. A standard I feel is accomplishable though not one that is ridicules. But as a student I try to push myself to go beyond my means to force myself to try to experiment and learn new ways. As a professional I am still working on these understandings. But I'd like to think that I try to be responsible in my aproach so that my work has morals. Being an ex-welfare worker I seem to have a need to explore real issues so I am very much a realist but I like to challenge and protest these the activist in me so on a professional level I do worry that one day I might land myself in trouble with my art. But I guess this is where the research becomes so important for me to be able to do thoroughly. But I will continue to consider this question for a long time I think Phillip.
