Finished proposal was sent in to tutors on Sunday, so that was interesting in that it got me to sit down and try and think logically about what my project is about - again, what am I trying to communicate? So I narrowed it down (ha) into an investigation into themes of opposition and perspective, and the delivery of work that illustrates certain divergent views, which are truth and reality to the respective holders, yet cannot (will not?) be reconciled.
I had mentioned in my first proposal that Niamh O'Malley's work is of interest to me. She's currently showing at the Douglas Hyde Gallery, a really nice exhibition . I'm very interested in her use of glass, as a method of delivery, and as a conceptual aid. The idea of using glass as a viewing mechanism, or as screening device could I think be applied to my own work. O'Malley also uses video as part of her installation, a medium I'm more drawn to using as part of the creation of my own project. She breaks up sections of her previous videos with a kind of sliding, screening device. My interpretation would be that it's used as a method of showing fragmentation, not seeing the whole picture.
