TEXT

6 July - 

Considering the context, influence and historical timeline behind this text.

Really want to show this in large vinyl. Discussed further in conjunction with exhibition proposal - 

  • considered text on blind /s 
  • text on spoons (Becky feels one large photo of a spooon is sufficent and reads differently to lots of small spoons with satirical language on)
  • Where is it - does it frame the work before you have chance to read the work?


You can have your cake and eat it along the side of the painting - cross references with the title of the work. -Where is my cake? refers to the impossibility of both things being true at once. If you eat the cake it is no longer in your possession - you can't have both.

Much like, with equality - you can't be good at both domestic/motherhood/ batch baking /presentable always woman - at the same time as holding down a career and putting 110% into going the extra mile for your employer.

Gesso Gesso on top does leave a shadow Acrylic Acrylic is too thick despite being used with a medim Oil Oil with linseed is much better for transparency Polychronos Polychronos work well to pull out small details but take over when used to pull out more detail  Bleach Bleach removed some of the coffee staining and I used a brush to remove the staining under the tape marks.  Painted back into this to pull out details with oil paint...

Overlays on Pro-Create for Cyanotype acetates

Image
    Contrasted image v softer inverted   Added a daisy wheel   Changed the pattern on the dress to wine glasses and changed the meat grinder to a pot a spoon to reflect conversation about making dinner. Attempted print on wooden spoon and prepped canvas. IB:  What does the process do to the archival image: LL: changes the intention. IB: Where is the image from, who is it? LL: American model - who? Could you use social media image? is this more relevant? Could you do copies of photos / appropriation: I'm taking this for free andf critiquing it - changing it's purpose.  See: Richard Price, re gender, identity, re photography. The Marlborough Man is just an american landscape - what happened when he detatched it from the brand?
