Midpoint MA FINAL PROJECT

The final trimester of my MA in Fine Art has begun and last week we did our midpoint presentations and exhibition, so it’s time to take a breather for a minute and catch you up before I plunge back in for the home stretch towards my final degree show in September!

Studio tour

Firstly I thought you might enjoy taking a look behind the scenes. Here’s a little video I shot in my home studio of several projects I had all on the go at the same time.

A summary so far

The presentation I gave last week as part of my course might be a good way to summarise for you where the project has got to so far, as we were tasked with communicating to our fellow students and tutors all the work we’ve been doing since Christmas, where we’ve got to now and what we’re planning for our final show.

Midpoint exhibition
- test run for my giant pod

As mentioned in my presentation, part of this midpoint summary has included an exhibition. I used this as a chance to test out my ideas for my final show and produced my first giant totem-style seed pod. This was a really helpful exercise in dealing with construction issues and risk assessment, as well as an opportunity to see my pieces all come together for the first time.
Here’s a little movie and some images.

I’d genuinely love to know what you think, as I am very much in the middle of working out how to improve this and adjust it to better communicate my concept. So if you have time, I’d love to hear your feedback - how does it make you feel? What does it make you think of? What things do you feel are currently working well and what needs further work? Don’t worry I won’t be offended (I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t want you to be honest!) Use the comments below or email me HERE with your thoughts!
