Got this image of a cloud! There was no blank wall to display the image. It was being cast onto the floor and was more or less invisible so I used a mirror to project it where it could be seen, which is why it's not upside down.

As we spend so much time on an island surrounded by a body of water, and in keeping with my thematic on traces of self in landscape, I chose to explore  conceptually, the idea of the ocean as a 'self' with relationship to landscape and within in its various embodiments.

Jesse suggested that we should  really think about sound as an important and equal  component to visuals in good video art. I took this on board and it made me reconsider my original music soundtrack.   I removed it and created a soundtrack from my own voice (a point which came up in class feedback)  and some found sounds which I altered with Davinci. It was really useful to see other people's work and to hear what was said about my work. Here is the second attempt which has the thematic of exploring the concept of the ocean as a 'body and 'self' in landscape, with the impact it makes upon that landscape, and my connection and mark making within that relationship to the ocean and landscape of Sherkin Island. ]]> 2020-05-14 17:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/573295622 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/573360818 We were asked to make six paintings, three from Sherkin and three from home environment, some to be used in our video essay. We were asked to use different harmonies for each painting and to record stages of development of the work. All paintings are A2 size. I hadn't realised they all had to be landscapes so my first two paintings were from the home environment, using my arm and hand and my daughters feet, painted from life, fitting with my thematic of marks of self in landscape as the early tools of art making. i went on to paint a rockpool in Sherkin which I had used before for the short film we made at the end of last Semester]]> 2020-05-14 17:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/573360818 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/599514820
We were asked after the visit to Imma on our first weekend, to develop a thematic to work on through this second semester.  Last semester I began to explore the idea of self in landscape, through the first mark making and art that was made by man in the landscape. I developed that theme through sketches and photographs, then a photographic installation work using a lobster pot which came from one of the island families,  displaying  shots of my footmarks on the beach at Silver Strand and a digital shot of my hand and foot. The pot signifies  an ancient historical piece of equipment for catching food and surviving on the island in the most basic of ways, using rustic natural materials which show the age and life story of the pot. I developed the thematic further with a set of digitally created images   for our end of Semester 1 photographic brief,  which captured my body and face as part of the landscape. So this semester I decided to try to develop that theme further within the modules of  painting, photography, photomontage, sculpture and the video essay. I did find it hard to always  incorporate the thematic within such a diverse range of art forms, and given the fact that we also had different themes to incorporate into exit briefs from different lecturers,  but I've tried to relate the work I have made this semester to my original thematic. ]]> 2020-05-28 16:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/599514820 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603116285 This is one of the paintings I used in the video essay.

I heard it was a painting weekend as the planned  sculpture class couldn't go ahead. Madge instructed the class to paint every day if possible. I used the time to do the EXIT BRIEF painting from the previous weekend and to plan my video essay. Because of the lockdown,  I ended up having to use photographs to make my landscape paintings. ]]> 2020-05-31 10:31:11 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603162467 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603176563 This photo was taken from the back of the ferry]]> 2020-05-31 10:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603176563 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603177356 2020-05-31 10:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603177356 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603177886 2020-05-31 10:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603177886 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603217257 2020-05-31 11:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603217257 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603217571 2020-05-31 11:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603217571 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603217904 2020-05-31 11:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603217904 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603219680 This work was used in the video essay]]> 2020-05-31 11:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603219680 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603227114 2020-05-31 12:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603227114 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603227867 2020-05-31 12:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603227867 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603228114 2020-05-31 12:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603228114 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603228361 2020-05-31 12:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603228361 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603228657 2020-05-31 12:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603228657 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603228987 This painting was used in the video essay ]]> 2020-05-31 12:07:50 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603228987 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603249860 2020-05-31 12:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603249860 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603250253 2020-05-31 12:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603250253 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603250557 2020-05-31 12:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603250557 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603250705 2020-05-31 12:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603250705 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603251196 2020-05-31 12:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603251196 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603255526 2020-05-31 12:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603255526 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603256335 2020-05-31 12:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603256335 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603261724 2020-05-31 12:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603261724 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603262351 2020-05-31 12:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603262351 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603262727 2020-05-31 12:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603262727 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603263012 2020-05-31 12:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603263012 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603263289 2020-05-31 12:56:09 UTC https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603263289 diannecurtin1 https://padlet.com/diannecurtin1/xbzoqdr6wkr7/wish/603295105 The Gearagh is a famous part of West Cork's landscape.

I only managed to have a rough attempt at one. I've not really had time to get acquainted with this program so it was a bit of a rush job and I don't know enough about it to be able to create anything decent without practice. However I did have a go with this sculpture which is supposed to be a Utopian interactive sculpture which would allow people to sunbathe on the grass, have a dip in a pool etc. I need more practice with this so it will be something to aim at for next year. I didn't know how to save the file as a jpeg so I took a screen shot for the purposes of putting it on padlet.

I photographed the movement of my left hand drawing to make the images for this, relating to my thematic of traces of self in landscape. I'm not left handed - as you can probably tell! I held the camera in my right hand!

I love found imagery for photomontage because it adds a sense of the ridiculous which I like. It's a medium I really enjoy and would like to explore more - but i deffo need a scalpel to cut the shapes properly! This was just an experiment really but it's kind of fun.
