- Name of final piece: I'm not sure I really know anything about myself
- Dimesnions: Vertical Triptych - each piece 23.4 x 16.6 inches
- Media: Black and white S/R prints
- Dimensions: Photographs, Perspex and paint
- Personal Comment: This triptych explores the idea that our external presence might say little about the reality of our internal worlds. It combines images informed by the crucifixion narrative and devotion to the sacred heart with Taoist notions about essence and appearance. Photographs, Perspex and paint are used in layers to explore ideas about skin and what lies beneath.
About The Group
In the time that I have been visiting the school in Lewisham I have been collecting visual imagery. I became particularly struck by a shop near the bus garage whose windows had been white washed on the inside.
I have been fascinated by glass for as long as I can remember particularly because it has a paradoxical quality in that it is really quite strong and durable but can break easily. Likewise, human beings are strong, durable but can break easily and sometimes for no apparent reason. In this paradox lies the idea for my piece.
I monitored my feelings during the testing process and really put them into three categories:
- Waiting, some degree of anxiety
- Process, limbo
- Waiting, some degree of anticipation
My results were disturbing and consequently, in the next couple of weeks, I am having further tests. I want to represent these feelings with a triptych that will be composed of a combination of images that illustrate something hidden behind a history of layers.
I then started collecting images that for me said something about the diagnostic process and my reaction to it. Images of mystery that had an inner, earthy quality seemed appropriate.
We met in a place abundant with Catholic imagery and images of the Cross permeated my mind through these meetings. Then I came across a book on Taoism in the room and found this. Essence and appearance are the same. Only ideas make them seem separate.
So I ask and want the piece I am making to ask - in the light of SCDS - what does this say or mean?
