Nailing down Visions exhibition

It was a bit messy when preparing and hanging the exhibition. Next time it would be beneficial to be a bit more organized. And also have it decided on what common height to hang the pieces so that everything looks part of one exhibition. But all in all I think we did a good job and I was really impressed of the variety of work we had created.

Aoife Duncan hanging her pieces. And below her beautiful graphite drawings.

Shauna Fee's interactive Kaleidoscope. This was a great idea and I liked the fact that the viewer basically created their own piece of work. 

Steven Gaughins piece was really interesting and well done. I liked how he involved the subject how we "hunt" for food today.

Tim Kellys piece was a combination of painting and collage with natural materials such as moss, twigs and stones. A very striking piece of work but would have been interesting to know a little bit more about the piece in the artist statement.

Finished pieces - Nailing down visions

Here is my finished pieces for the Nailing down Visions project. During this project I used different mediums to try and replicate the after-image on my eye and the result ended up in 3 pieces. Guache on paper, pen on paper and then a collage combined with pen.

The 3 pieces ended up very different but I think that each one communicates the idea in their own way. The conclusion after finished this project is that it was very difficult to do this. No matter what colours or shapes I used I could not manage to justify the vivid after-image that was created on the back of my eyelid. After doing this project a great interest for optics have started and its something that I certainly what to develop my knowledge within.
