 Contemporary: Daniel Lind Ramos - Ensamblajes:

This exhibition took place one spaces with four large sculptures. these sculptures were made out of fabric and items such as sandbags, chairs and shovels. Each piece was nicely spaced out from each other which I think allowed the work to be shown fully while still keeping the overall space light and roomy, allowing for the viewer to walk freely. The space that was chosen for this exhibition was Gallery 3 and 4, this space is light, bright with many windows and I believe that this helped to elevate the work and allow the viewer to see every detail. 

My favourite piece is the sculpture of a group of humanoid figures named 'Centinelas de la nueva',  when looking at this piece I notice that all of the figures are facing outwards, one with a hand shielding a smaller figure as if they are protecting it from the viewer. I think that although the figures have no real human features, the way they are staring out at the viewer creates a haunting and heavy atmosphere whiten the piece. As if they can see right through the viewer and reading the heart and soul. I believe that the brown and beige tones that have been used create a natural, earthy look for the sculpture and I think that it allows the piece to be grounded and showcases a connection to nature. I think that the accents of bright blue provide a good contrast and allow the overall composition to be eye-catching. I believe that there is something motherly and nurturing about this piece, the way the taller figures are gathered round the smaller one make sit seem as if they have taken in a young child or ward and are raising them as their own. 

Overall, I think that this was a very peaceful and calm exhibition. Each sculpture held its own without taking away from the other and I believe that each work was intricate and though provoking.

 FMP evaluation: This FMP lasted 16 weeks and concludes the 2nd year of my Fine Arts Foundation Degree. To begin my project I started off with some photography of walks and hikes that I did while on holiday. The theme of this project was about recovery, this was a personal theme as last year I had come down very suddenly with an illness and have spend months recovering from it. I wanted this project to explore the themes of sickness, recovery, how these thing change and affect your every day life and the resilience and perseverance needed to get better.  Through a series of images I was able to document walks, hikes and meals that I would not have been able to do or eat a month before and I found this process empowering and liberating. Once I had the foundations I was able to start developing my project. I started with cyanotypes as this is a fairly quick and easy process and used multiple of my landscape photographs to create the images. I experimented with a variety of diffe...

 Final piece: As a final development for this project I was speaking to some of my course mates and one of them suggested the possibility of placing my cut outs outside. I really liked this idea and thought that it ties in well with my theme so I went into my back garden and placed the cut outs in different places such as against a stone wall and in a bush.  The first this I noticed while looking at my work outside is that I believe that this brought my work to life, it was as if everything fell into place and my work suddenly made complete sense while in an outside, natural environment. I think that having my pieces placed outside allowed the images to be tied back to the original photos of litter that I took at the very beginning of the project creating a nice cycle from start to finish.  When looking at my final images I believe that there is something quite comical about them, fake litter being placed outside masquerading as real litter. It's ironic in a way that is a...
