Self-Evaluation

                The content of my project I believe fulfilst he assessment criteria and responds to the brief in an effective manner , it establishes a connection to the immediate area and the surrounding environment, involving both the landscape and the locals using photographic forms and including materials from the scenes. The use of bottles was the main feature however this was dominated by the number of jars I had to use in order to light my work, prior to the exhibition this had occurred to me and in an attempt to remedy it I painted all the lids in the same colour to try and create a sense of replication; so that the differences weren’t so distinct. The use of glass and plastic was useful and beneficial as it did water proof the installation and protect the photographs when it started to rain on the day.

The work could have been improved if I had continued to shoot more photographs, specifically the portraits as I limited myself in the edit, I think that the addition of physical material in the containers did add another level of interest to the work and am happy that I persevered with that, however I would have liked to have had larger bottles and more in number so not to have needed to use the jars, as in the end I found them to be a distraction. The umbrellas that I put additional photographs on were a response to public comfort, to encourage viewing despite the rain; I think this was a good idea but could have been improved simply by making them more visible.

 Despite all of these faults I did like my finished product and hoped that they few that viewed it appreciated the display.

 

Due to the weather on the second day I had to moved my work inside.

 

 

 

Spectator Interaction

In comparison to the other pieces of work displayed in the exhibition I think mine was probably one of the least interactive, I did try to position the bottles so that the viewer would have to move around the space in order to see inside of them however due to the lack of visitors I didn’t really see whether it was a successful ploy.  I think that I could have developed the interactive aspect more and used more mediums to improve the level of interest in my work, I see now that I limited myself greatly during the developing and initial ideas stage.
