Today I had my first tutorial with Gillian Wylde, there is so much information to share and getting to know each other.It felt good, because I felt understood
This is the transfer from my mind map, unfortunatly I haven’t found out yet how to copy and past the grapphic as well, oh well, on step at a time!!!
The Beauty ot the Act of Hand Making
I. The way is the goal, not the destination
A. Documenting through Still Photography
II. Zen as a stepping point towards a visual sensibility
A. The Stillness and Beauty in Japanese Craft
III. Multi-sensory experience
A. Touch of wool, fabric and yarn
B. Sound> interplay and response in dialogue
C. Visual
in real time and documentation (Film, Photography)
IV. sharing of the experience > collaborative and participation
Gillian seemed to understand my multi layered approach:
– working on a real-time piece of embroidery,which will become a “companion” through out the process,
– my wish for collaboration with others through working together with photography and video,
– incorporating interdisciplinary collaboration with musicians
– and a parallel approach which shows solitude and being with other people as in :
> being myself the antagonist, the person who creates through the retreat in to embroidery a reflective space in a fast, hectic world
> and creating situation in which I wish to share this with other, stitching in a public space and inviting other to share to work and my space for a short moment in time.
Gillian will email me links to artists and events for my conceptual research, she suggestes Ann Hamilton, Tom van Holland, Roni Lee and the “Mending Conference”
