"Fear And Familiarity"- A powerful statement which applied to all of us in a personal way.
Amongst the ideas discussed, interesting perceptions as that of Alex who connected my work to Optical Art suggesting movements. She was interested in how the idea could be pushed on further on a kite or even an elephant for example. I can understand her point of view. What if the "rectangular" canvas was totally absent? I am confident to work on any surface, this can even be more exciting too..
Iain discussed about the purely aesthetic feel of the work. He liked the "neatness" related to them and remarked about how the shapes reminded him of Goldfish at places. He expressed his appreciation on the different patterns emerging out from them and related that to a kind of graphic style.
Rosi discussed about the idea of Maps which was something new to me,however most refreshing. Her ideas were different as she thought from her perspective while being engaged in her research of Maps.
After this session, I felt a boost of positive energy. I felt I needed to clear out the "fear and familiarity" issue to move on to more creative processes. I also felt good about seeing what others were up to as I could easily connect to some of them as they shared same difficulties and issues concerned.
An enriching activity...
