The conclusion we came to, through discussion, lead us to the importance of 'emotion', 'time' (in very different ways), and what we could only explain as a lost communication.
From there we decided to attempt to use these words and phrases, either writing a short paragraph on each, or just incorporating them into our small piece of writing, then reading one anothers.
My paragraph:
'Personally, I feel my work involves emotion on the basis that I want the viewer to feel something when they view it. I feel my work is less about receiving a personally opinion or view, but at the moment, more feel the emotional context to something missing.
Whether this be something visibly missing, or more quietly something lacking its own use, but still being recognisable as to what it is.
I suppose I want them to feel something uncontrollable has happened with time, a sort of acknowledgement to there being a separation and juxtaposition of two things. Our mortality to be made clear in a subtle way.
The lost communication comes in the form for things that we take for advantage, once again relating to the passage of time. Words, feelings, the now, slipping like grains of sand between our fingers, being forgotten and unappreciated along the way. Words that are said in communication that go unwritten, those moments that go unphotographed, undocumented. Words and stories that have no other path other than to eventually be lost to our own mortality.'
From reading one another's writing, something Hayley noticed, agreed and shared something I'd spoken about; the idea that we all want our viewers to feel something. We all appear to find the 'connection' the viewer has with a work of art to be vitally important.
