Upon reflection, I have found Project X quite a struggle, with many up’s and down’s. The panic of not having a solid idea and path to follow, left me unmotivated. I think I could improve on staying confident and open minded. Having said that, once our concept was put into place, my work load and attitude towards the project rapidly improved. As the piece can only be fully viewed once it’s installed into the gallery space, its difficult for me to fully evaluate it. However I am confident that it will be successful and well received by the viewers. I’m hoping that people will be intrigued, and interact with the Pop Up Shop.
Working in a group was a new, yet important experience. I believe I made a strong commitment by regularly meeting up, presenting ideas in weekly crits, and staying in contact with my group via Facebook. When Hannah and I started working collaboratively, it really helped me focus on the structure and created new ideas. I do worry that I haven’t exactly developed my skills in terms of making, due to the simple process of the acetate piece. However I have gained experience from working in a group and having to adapt with people and their ideas. I know that I can apply this knowledge in the future as collaboration is necessary. If I had more time, i think I could really push and explore different materials. I am happy that we chose to not fabricate the acetate, as we wanted it to be clean and simple, to hold the heavily embellished scarves. I would however like to to introduce a source of light into the piece, to create interesting shadows. I would probably have to assess this when I visit the gallery space. My biggest learning outcome during this unit is that adapting and refinement is key. Less is most defiantly more.
