Claire Barclay

I just had my feedback for this semester, it went pretty well. Im off to get a celebratory Christmas coffee. The tutors have reccommended I look at Claire Barclay as well as the the wonderful Richard Tuttle. I’ve looked at them both before but I hadn’t looked that closely.

I’ve been writing my essay this week too, the title’s  Contextual Review. Ive been writing about Hesse, Tuttle and Lewitt in the sixties. I suppose it’s not a very original or relevant topic at the moment, but I love it.

I love the sixties at the moment, the night before one of my tutorials i watched a documentary on the BBC called “Hotel California: The Byrds to the Eagles”. There was alot of music on it that I had heard my parents talk about but had never heard. I really liked some of it, though I hate the Eagles.

There was a brief mention of  Gram Parsons too, I have an odd interest in him. Again my mum talks about him sometimes. He aparently told Emmylou Harris not to worry about not have any troubles to draw on, that they would come whether she wanted them or not.

Anyway the next day my tutor started talking to me about the times that Hesse, Lewitt and Tuttles work were made in, and I was itching to buy a guitar.

I hope your all having a good day.
Thank you x.

Statement for the first semester 3rd year.

My work this term has been heavily concerned with connections, transformations and relationships between objects. I have explored this by researching in terms of their function and aesthetic qualities. In doing so each object is identified with a character. 

This process then informs the objects, treatment and placement within a space. This inspiration for this stage is inspired by personal experience, extracts from media and observations.

The works presented here display the development of the process. Initial works show relationships to specific spaces and move toward interactions with each other as a group of found and created objects.
