For our talking about our own work I was planning to combine the questions with the same word related statements and try to work around it like that, pulling in aspects of my own work with Hayley and Claudia's:
(This space will have that in, I'll likely wrote it up tomorrow)
Personally I haven't quite got my head around Sartre yet, so I'd like to keep as quiet as I possibly can. We do all definitely have a psychological link in our work, which is why I intend to work out what it means a bit better, that way I can start to look at what I do using it, and maybe use it.
It seems that our points of reference for this is mainly emotion based, rather than scientific.
What influences this- why do we do things certain ways?
I'd say it's probably better not to try to understand it.
Audience- We all seemed interested in idea's of audience and the viewers experience of our artwork, some wanting a specific audience, and others being more unsure. We all shared the fact that we didn't want our work to be cut off from anyone, especially not if it was due to them not having as much experience with art. In short, we wanted it to be universal. We wanted our work to have some sort of impact on whoever is looking at it; we wanted to move them in some way. We know that our original intention isn't always going to be what the viewer see's, so we're quite interested in how other people interpret it. I know that what is behind my work isn't always clear, but this relates to a point Hayley made; Can we ever communicate what we want to? I don't think we can, not completely anyway. Each viewer will have their own experiences which they will project into the artwork, and it's definitely something which needs to be considered. Most often my work is shrouded in a fantasy based narratives, so getting past that can be a challenge, sometimes even to me.
As I'd already began to talk about, we all felt provoking some sort of emotion in whoever is engaging with our work is important. Bonus points if it's the right one. We thought this was important because we believe that good art will make you feel something, make you think about something.
