MONDAY 14th October: The Conversation Task:
a) “Give a basic introduction about your area of interest demonstrating how this was sparked, suggest things you have done that demonstrate this eg attending conferences/exhibitions/workshops etc etc”?
b) "No area of interest, want to do everything + anything, sparked by going to the Tates, RA summer exhibition 2012, both college and school, 4 weeks at foundation, working with others and practising artists, realised that by doing bits and bobs that I enjoyed a lot, didn’t actually wanna focus on anything grounded and particular.
Realistic, traditional oil portraiture, because I cant actually do it, I hate not being able to do something, Ive only used them once though, but never have been able to draw or paint in acrylics and that in realism, it pisses me off".
a) "What are your current intrests and the methods and materials you are playing with
and planning to work with"?
b) "Current interests are... getting to grips and know oils, because Ive used them once and i quite liked it, oil based mono printing because it excited me and I'd only used water based at college and school. I loved the difference. I also liked the blind drawing task we did. Ive always wanted to use textiles more."
and the stuff you make/do) has progressed since being on the Foundation”?
b) "Feel a lot less controlled, i can experiment a hell of a lot more, which i haven't before, use far more materials and be more expressive, myself! I let the materials do a lot of the art too, they can run, splat, or not do anything if they want, I'm not as caring to them, doing what i want as much nowadays".
a) “What key influences have affected your practice either because you are excited, intrigued, enthralled by them, because they inspire you technically, because they repulse you (often inspiration comes from what you do not want to do)”?
b) "not much repulses me, but if i had to say something, then it would be photography. I do like it, sometimes, buts its not involved as i want to be, and its hard for me to do what i want, as its not me that's creating the image, its the camera. It frustrates me."
a) “Talk about your ambition and why you would enjoy a BA course (peers, discussions, inspirational tutors etc etc)”?
b) "My ambition is everything, its not one thing! I don't like the idea of subject area, if it could be possible, i never want to stick to one medium or one subject area or style. I guess i might have to, style wise, as everyone needs their own style. But i guess again, not having a style could be my style, but that's a style, which i don't want... I want to be in galleries, museums, i want my name to be known, George Francis, (George Barber's already in use). I wanna be taught by the masters of art in Europe."
