Barbras exhibition consisted of three large screens each viable on both sides as the projection carried through the screen. It was a dark quiet space which focused the viewers attention onto the luminosity of the screens and the sound of the projectors running the strips of film round and round. Each screen displayed clips of artwork in gallery storage, hidden away from the world. Paintings sealed away in cages designed to contain them. Sculptures left lying around on shelves waiting like lost toys the way Barbra filmed them felt like she had intended to portray them in this way, alive but never moving from their place.

I didnt know there was such an expansive collection of works that are kept hidden for years only displayed when felt relive the to the times, i enjoyed being able to see these snippets of work and wonder when will they be seen again?

We were told to copy the footsteps of the leader and I have attempted to track the different leaders by drawing dashes to try to depict their pace as I was doing them in the moment

I found it very interesting to be able to clearly see how this wall was constructed blocking off and poring concrete layer by layer knowing how the last must have set before they could pour the next. There is a strong element of time and craft in this wall.

I was immediately drawn to these tiles the second i saw them.
I love the layering of organic accidental splotches of various mystery materials building up an almost pale chest of texture. Under this we have these uniformed tiles with once clear boarders which are now broken by overlaying textures. And then we have the decay of the stone where it has been weathered and worn down displaying years use.

I like the wonky cobbles amongst a more uniform rows

I have continued to be drawn to the beauty of those slabs and want to attempt to replicate a similar feeling to those focusing on texture.

There was a selection of outfits on display and I was drawn to this coat, i love the patchworked elements which have been used to. Form a pattern rather then to mend.

I was curious about looking back at those tiles and want to see if i can cats them and replicate the textures that i love.

My original thought was to do a large area but having never used silicone before i thought it would be best to do a few small scale tests which i can later use to imprint into clay and cast into plaster ect.

After our walk we returned t our studio and laid out all of our documentation from the walk and each explained how we went about it.

We were the asked to think of words that we associated with our walk and then draw a map of our walk in response. I admit i got so engroced in trying to figure out the landscape of the area i forgot to focus on my associated words, however i am happy with my map.

We then pieced all of our maps together on the wall discussing the best layout and moving things around for a while until we had agreed on a composition. I enjoyed the unknown of this series of tasks which led to a very interesting outcome. I would be interested in how i could not plan and respond to random events in other ways.

There is so much care gone into composing the many forms that make up the upholstery which has composed a dynamic and interesting piece of furniture that you’d want to look at before you sat on it. The layering of the leather and the reinforcement of the many lines of stitch makes this armchair look very robust.

Ive done free stitch embroidery before and find it a great tool so i wanted to learn how to do it on the sewing machine in the makers space. I drew my favourite sofa from home from memory and matched the thread pretty well.

I did a free crochet lesson at Somerset house and made this spiral which woud have ended u being half of a bag. One i got into therythum of things i was amazed how much i zoned out from the outside world, it was almost meditative. It was also nice to speak to some strangers whilst doing the same activity laughing and doing our best to help each other out. I love the way a session like this can bring together a community.

I liked the way the exhibition was structured with the projections on opposing walls forcing the viewer to pick a side between Islam and Judaism as you watch then occupy the space one side at a time. I found it powerful in the sense that it brought light to this conflict of ownership that people may not have otherwise taken any notice of or ever know but by watching it makes you want to understand it.

What we can ask about others work and our own

As you go down into the tanks of the Tate modern above you you can see these shallow platforms, upon them there are three of these little staircases leading into doorways which have been sealed off. It makes you wonder why are these here? What were they leading to? How did you get to them? Why were they sealed off? Although these were not intended as artworks but just part of a structure that became obsolete these traces of change peak my interest and leave me speculating what could have been. This line of questioning could be a great thing to bring to my work trying to peak the viewers interest and want to speculate.
