Final thoughts and experiments: I hired a digital camera to take all the final pics because I didn't like anything I made. I realised you can work with anything if you can take a good photo of it and give it a title with enough contradictions that talking about it makes you have to talk about it more. Art. There are more photos of Algorithm Object photographed on grass and then on fine gravel. It was hard capture the text reflecting in the mirror without me in the picture as well as the composition looking awkward so I went with the gallery images as seen in the final presentation of that work. I achieved fake dappled light in the gallery by putting a ladder in front of the lights. It made it look more like it was in it's natural habitat. The bird nest- I don't know about the title, word nest. I tried playing with the idea of context. e.g. a word is a nest a bird is a nest. The title came to me when I was playing around with it, but it's a bit convoluted. I kept trying to figure out what it meant. If a word is a nest- maybe the word is defined by what holds it? and if a bird is a nest would it be that a bird is defined by its behaviour? I'm not sure I also hung it on the hook but the word fell out. Also- the box. I'm paying homage to Robert Rauschenberg by installing it in the same way. It feels like cheating to copy artists like this, but even small tweaks make a work different. This work is also very open to interpretation depending on the title. I hung this work at eye level and then I decided to put it high up on the wall, like you can see in the final image. I thought about hanging it upside down but it was too obviously rebellious with the text "this way up". I hung it high up on the wall and decided to make the work about commodifying religion or packaging heaven. I initially thought "ascension" but the feedback was that it was a bit pope-faced then i thought "the ascension of jesus christ into heaven" which highlights the absurdity but feels too sharp a critique so I thought "heaven by the box" sounds like a 60s commercial then "heaven in a box". I liked the child-like simplicity of the last one and the assonance of the "i" sound. The box is deconstructed.

Everyday Poetry Feedback Reflection I submitted my poem based on Everyday Poetry to my creative writing tut, and the thoughtful feedback I received applies to both the poem and photo book versions:
The line, "held by the awe of the moment" is the poem's thesis.
The concept for Everyday Poetry is an attempt to capture everyday moments I saw as elusive/sacred. This inspired the documentary-style images as they were responsive to this feeling. The feedback is– what does it feel like to be in that moment/why does this matter? Titling images could help frame this- e.g the below images titled: sculpture or a sculpture nobody else sees.
Sidenote- I avoided titling instead relying on time/date stamps to keep it more observational. I wanted the concept to be that these images/moments are poetry, it's not a written poetry book. Although pairing the best images with titles that double as a poem across the book would better communicate the concept. E.g So this page's title is- A sculpture nobody else sees next page- A ceremony for fallen leaves Following the poem
The poem can be trimmed with a technique of "economical wording" to deepen impact (concept from writing lecture). Similarly, pages of the book could be cut if they repeat an idea. Question each image: Is this deepening the concept? Is this communicated better elsewhere?
Contextualising Everyday Poetry: "...art emerges from attentiveness to the world, from small, overlooked moments revealing something larger."

Fillette (Velo Version) documentation
I don't write everything I think - I'd have my 100 tumblr posts achievement for the photobook alone. But here's an example, from 3:03pm-7:41pm, I documented some of my work from this semester - here are some of fillette (velo version) Image reflections:
2nd row, 1st/2nd images: in darker/backlighting it looks like a pear because of the form and colour, and they're closer to the warm hues of louise bourgeois' fillette (sweeter version) aged latex. >>>Affect: deep hues + subtle silver shine + lowlight = sophisticated/sensual 3rd row, 1st image: Unusual angles abstract the form, emphasising the retro-futuristic style of the bike seat. Also looks yonic from this side?? The composition, lighting and old fan on the roof all make the form appear in space station/zero gravity >>> Affect: abstract + spacey = analytical/curious/neutral? 4th row, 1st image: I took a couple of photos at an angle to mix it up, looks like a plane taking off. Don't like it. It's too bold/simple/strange? Prefer documentary-style photos. 4th row, 2nd image: The lighting doesn't contour the form in a way that looks visually interesting like the others - a bit flat and plain. Eg. to compare the 3rd image of the 3rd row the lighting gives the appearance of clavicles or contour of stomach/hips. Also, the angle, centred from a lower vantage point, makes the phallic form appear authoritative. Anthropomorphised bike seat:
Why is it anthropomorphised? Softness, corporeal, contoured form. I've also seen bike seats this way, but in an art context, it makes that more obvious, maybe. I also had to cut all the blurry pics - sometimes the hook was in focus, sometimes the seat or neither. Interesting that one found object can evoke a range of affects depending on the mood/lighting/angles/composition. Documenting becomes a work in itself? Image and object works.
I named the work: fillette (velo version) to play with the version in brackets of the original Louise Bourgeois fillette (sweeter version). The subtle tweak of one word feels close enough to make the reference obvious to someone who knows it, while drawing attention to the 'velo' text branded on this bike seat. Paying homage to Bourgeois, the title, display with the fishhook and formal resemblance. Bourgeois is both phallic and like a female form - mine is phallic on the front, yonic on the back. A functional object stripped of function and given a name.

reifying words as bricks - never reified Found this word -reifying- from my materials research (Post 1945 subject) and reminds me of what I wanted to do with my word bricks #RIP Making an abstract concept tangible but whats more interesting is what effect it would have? I guess i wont know (alienation) until I do that (critique the status quo) im still going to make them after all this An example of reifying is: a wedding ring symbolising 🤝 love (abstract concept)
