I had a tutorial with David Ferry the printmaker which was really good because he was looking at the work from a different perspective. He highlighted the significance of the object and the handmade which, I can sometimes overlook because ceramics is the discipline that I’m trained in. I had become very focused on the image and the print, forgetting that the prints on clay were also objects within their own rights. He also highlighted for me the fact that I was dislocating the impact of the photograph by the use of the grid.
I’ve been looking at work by Andreas Gursky, Dieter Roth, Louise Nevenson, Antoni Tapies, Gerhard Richter, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and Vito Acconci.
