Inroduction to research lecture by Nancy Roth

"Every time we describe an event, add up a column of figures or take a photograph, we create a model."


Maker

Why are you doing Fine Art? Challenge your practice, what has been there all the time? Is there a running theme or component through your practice? Then on the other side what has changed radically?

How as the maker do you know when your work is finished? Is it set by a deadline or are you the type of artist who just knows when you are done, where the cut off point is,or is your work ever finished? For myself i feel my work is never finished, I'm never quite satisfied and i feel I only complete components of a bigger piece. In this case my practice.

As an artist you should assess your work, and if there is one thing you can take away from the piece what would it be? What difference has my medium made in the world? Where did the medium come from and what is its relevance in the world today?

What do artists do?

Express themselves

Reflect us (the audience) to ourselves

Research perception

Amuse, annoy, frighten

We take a problem, find a means of addressing it and find a possible resolution.
