Working Towards Final Artwork.

With 7 weeks to go until the exhibition, my development work is coming along nicely. I have decided on the experimental pieces I wish to develop further into a final artwork, I just have to resolve the problem of what process, method and materials I am going to use. 

Still remembering that the concept of this project is how we as a society value things purely based on appearance ( the majority of the time) this is especially true when it comes to valuing artwork. Is it the concept that is the most important factor or is it the physicality of the artwork itself?? This is what I have been trying to express throughout the course of this project and I think i'm managing to achieve this successfully :) I have based the work of this project  on the surrounding landscapes of where I live, I have photo-documented different areas within a number of different landscapes which I have found to be of great interest and in relation to the concept/theme. I have then gone on to abstract these images in a number of ways, from simplifying the entire image to its most basic form, enlarged the scale of each drawing, sandblasting image onto glass (digital printing) and also expressed elements of my photographs through the use of fused glass.

I am also still in the process of working on digital portfolio and promotional material for PDP and the end of year exhibition. Webpage is coming along nicely and at good pace and should be finished with the next few weeks to follow. Promotional material such as my business cards and postcards have still to be finalised but again should be done within the next few weeks.
