Personal stories: WE-VOICE

Am working on using the 'We-Voice blog, personal stories i am gathering of women's personal experience's of being women. I am also looking at the aspect of trust in what is being told, do we believe these women and their pieces of writing, could i use parts of them and create a fictional story? I am interested in these confessionals, narrative's and how they can be told, and if they are of interest to the viewer, what makes them interesting? I am looking at video, sound and installation to find a way in which the pieces can become stronger without over doing them.

Group exhibtion

Have made a group for the group exhibition and have had our first meeting. I am working with Ellie Huh, Jacqui Jackson, Helen Dixon, Camilla Raffo, Kaoru, Jacey, Sophie Gallager, Libby Ireland, Abi Frecklton and Kyla Harris. Jacqui and myself are co-ordinating the group. We are all looking into finding a gallery/space to exhibit but haven't found one as yet, we are a large group so this is adding to the challenge. We haven't got a theme as yet and are not sure it will need one, but we are discussing this. We have a nice selection of practices and installation's to go into the exhibition.

artists film and video elective

have almost got to a place where i am happy with the princess/doll face, renamed "because i'm worthless' video piece for elective. Decided to add text to it that flashes up over the images, they flash very fast so hard to catch what they say, this is aimed at being subliminal. The words are words we see and hear everyday in magazines, adverts, words that describe what it is to be feminine and not feminine. Words like 'beautiful, sexy, because i'm worth it, ugly, buldge' plus some fashion and beauty brand names we are very familiar with. I'm not a hundred percent happy with it but i think if i step away from the work for a while then i will see what is needed when i return to it. So although the piece is unfinished i am happy with it at the stage it is...to be continued.
