Andrew Robertson Artist Statement
Andrew Robertson is a Glasgow based artist, working predominately with a camera, yet not exclusively. He taps into the full emotion of his life lived - anywhere between the cheeky misbehaved boy he once was, to the bitter old man he is becoming. His body of work spans many issues and topics, with a keen focus on self and how he reacts and feels about the world around him. Themes of chronic physical and mental health conditions as well as those of addiction and self-control run throughout his work and he uses his output to further understand himself and his place in the world.

Creative Project Evaluation
During this Project, as with most its has taken time to formulate and finalize my ideas of what the final body of work will be. Deciding originally to go down the road of Psychoanalysis, I realised a huge amount of my body of work looks at and tries to interpret such things. Working with self-portraiture in the past I have used this artform as a type of therapy or self-analysis to further understand how I relate to both myself and the world around me, often creating works that highlight my strengths, my weaknesses, my desires, my fears and indeed my issues with self-control.
Out of all the types artworks I have produced, I find my self-portraiture to be of the most significant and of most importance to me both as a developing artist and as a person trying to understand myself further.
Much of this type of work takes time to formulate in the mind and I found that I had an abundance of ideas of the work I might produce for this module. I then took my time to visualise and narrow down these ideas. My development work was based around spilling out whatever was in my mind in the moment, using a variety of photographs combined with written works to do this. I find this type of exercise very useful and it will often help to refine my thinking and push me in certain directions.
The work I Produced for the final hand in, I believe was of high standard both technically and conceptually, working with creation of sets and outfits to convey my message, it is work I am proud of. The main themes I ended up dealing with where those of self-control and in many ways, I have used my tobacco addiction as all encompassing blanket for all of my self-control issues, allow there are other elements that are perhaps less obvious within this body of work. I felt at this point in my academic learning I should perhaps not show to much of myself, I am very aware that I’m a different point of my life to others in the class and it is always in my mind not to push things to far in the work I produce on this course. It’s important to me to be as positive an influence as possible to the people around me, especially the younger members of the course. Therefor this was a major factor in the production of work for this module, and has affected the outcome of the work produced. I am yet unsure if this has had a positive or negative effect on the work produced.
As with almost every project, I feel I could have done more and, in some ways, wish I had, yet as mentioned before I am proud of what I’ve produced and worked hard to produce the final works.
Planning and time management continue to be an issue for me, along with my efforts to do formal research and document it correctly. I believe my actions over the summer break will play a huge significance in how I address these issues moving forward. This project among others has led me to believe it is time for the leopard to change his spots.

Some supporting work for my final ten images
Im projecting more of my vices than smoking alone onto these images, in essence smoking has become something I show but, perhaps it's really a way to hide other worse things.

Making a tobacco packet suit
this was after the tobacco packets had been cast from my process and production module, I then took the useable off cuts to first make a bedspread and later transform it into a suit these would be used a props if you will for some of the photographs produced for the final images.
This was quite a chore and took several days. perhaps one day I will learn how to use a sewing machine.

An Exhibition
This was a small exhibition/open studio I guess, by eight artists sharing a studio in the hidden lane just off argyll street in glasgow.
it was a joy to see this communal art space, and allow dose not have a huge impact on the work i am doing for this module, i was pleasantly surprised to find many desk set ups presented. which of course has distacte me to think about our upcoming desk exhibition for the end of year. ( I also shared these images with my classmates as i found them useful to me)

Everything is about sex
So Freud once thought everything is about sex and then changed his mind.
I probably agree, for me once everything was about sex, but I have also changed my mind.
This is a small side project sort of within this module, which I had help from my friend Agnes to put together (as a model)
I fairly quickly gave up on it as I feel it doesn't sit to well with the other work produced for this module, perhaps it is a project for another time.

Some more development work
The top image is about putting things off and using things to hide
The second image is of me and my dog and perhaps part of the reason I hide.
This hard and as mentioned in the last post making art about something and talking or writing about it are very different things.
I was 11 years old when my she died, she was only 2 years old and I was in some ways responsible, she was killed by a horse but she was in my care at that time. This and other factors going on in my life at this time I have come to realise have had a major effect on me and therefore crop up a lot in my self portraiture. Allow this will not be a major feature in my finished works for this module, it has had a knock on effect, and indeed the works I am producing in relation to my addictions and behaviours can be traced back to this time in my life.
That was maybe all a bit heavy, however I feel as this is really all about psychoanalysis, well self psychoanalysis it is important i do not shy away from such things.

I really appreciate interviews like this and find I take on information in this way far easier, than text based infromation.
The things I took from watching and indeed listening to this interview were; Emin's honesty and openness about her personal life, which of course is what most of her works about in one way or another, yet making the work and expressing these things is somehow very different to me than having an open public conversation about.
I was also aware, of her ability to question herself and to allow others to do so.

This image was screen shoted off Tracey Emin's Instagram story
It happens to be one of the images I will be writing about in my critical analysis module. I find social media, specifically Instagram a great place to research, and have often reached out to artists and asked about their work. to mixed levels of success.
Tracey is yet to respond.......(think I might be trolling her a bit)
Emin's work really speaks to me as i think she often deals with similar topics in her work as I do. Self, physical and mental health, abuse , sex and relationships.
I also appreciate her multidisciplinary approach.
i'm not though suggesting we or our work are alike, perhaps that's why I like it similar topics different approach ?
certainly different life and experiences. for instance she got a first a Goldsmiths, I question if I shall achieve my degree.

self portrait in my home studio
This photo was taken in late 2020 and was perhaps around the time i began to truly consider myself an artist. its quite an important photograph to me personally and was taking during a time of change and development.
I have blended it with a work that consists of many quotes that have been rambling about in my head jumbling themself into and over each other, perhaps. this work was produced in the studio at college. (many of these quotes are from the earlier post consisting of post from Philosophy daily)
I have also come to realise allow not at the time of production, this work has very possibly been influenced by some work done by Catlin Hendy (CAP classmate)

Some development work
A lot of this style of work I produce , is to me sort of like a diary or a blog and in fact a from of psychoanalysis. its often consists of me just spilling out whatever is in my brain or on my mind at that time.
I find this work very useful in development of ideas, really as way just to get me thinking and questioning
