Project Evaluation

With this project, i feel like ive gone on a very long joyrney and finally have reached an equilibrem which i am happy with. After a slow start, finally descovering something i could get my teeth into was a big boost. Most of my micro projects have come along way from the start. With one thing being the initial idea and then developing into images that i am proud to call my own. I have struggled with finding artists, as many photographers dont over this idea of susperstitions However i have made key connections with other aspects of my work. My main inspiration comes from the work of Sophie Calle and her work with text and imagery in the book exquist pain. The stylistic approach of rinko Kawachi is very similar to some of the techniques and styles i have used in my own work and the work on susperstitions by Ansley west. I have also taken a great deal by looking at a range of artists that use text, repetition and the different structures and layout of books, which have informed my final peice. If im honest, i would of loved more time to delve deeper into the many supsertitions out there, as well as finally make work some of the supsertitions i had problems organsising or completeing to a standard i found suitable. I honestly want to continue along this project as i have found it both fun and exciting. I do like how it has allowed me to explore many different techniques, different styles and overall build up my portphilo with a range of work that is both different and coherient. My next step is to create the smaller version of this book for everyday resale and approach different locations on stocking my book and/or showing some of the more specific supsersittions in a gallery space. I think from my original images not only have my themes and concepts evolved but my technique and personal style. If im honest at the start of the year i felt like i had lost my passion and got stuck in a rut but my idea evolving into such a great project has helped my own self confidence as a practitioner.
