Fields & Frames - Audience

I have thought a lot about where and who I want this piece of work to be for and be seen. I believe that with the nature of it sharing the basic characteristics of it being a "painting" it makes most sense for it to be seen within a gallery setting. I believe it would be a fantastic gallery piece and would fit in nicely within this sort of space. I want my audience to be able to look at the painting then leave and look around and come back to something different within the painting. I think this works really well with the concept too as people are so caught up in the now that who can really guess what is going to happen within time.

I want people to connect with the piece so I have used one of the most iconic landmarks in the UK to be centre focus for the painting. I believe by doing this it really brings this idea of environmental catastrophe which is happening all over the globe to home. One thing that the people of the UK has is patriotism and a sense of us all being connected by this idea of country and by using a landmark like this would really enforce this further.  

How I want the space to look 

This is the space, the green represents how people can navigate through the space, the red is the space where the light will fall and therefore would interrupt the sequence. The space around the projector will be taped off incase it gets knocked. 

Gallery Space 

This idea of my work within a gallery space is something which I have not really thought too much about as most of my work has been digital and therefore I automatically would put it online. 

I have looked into the idea of my changing painting to see if there is anything similar. Obviously Alex's decaying wall was a huge inspiration in the way I thought about a gallery piece. My last animation was incredibly quick and could and should have been a lot slower. I liked how with Alex's decaying wall it wasn't so noticeably changing, you would revisit it and it would decay more. I suppose this idea applies to the method of painting in that paintings which are hundreds of years old need to be repaired because of light damage.

Ways in which artists have shown the idea of time through painting examples:

Adam Lupton's painting uses painting to show movement captured in time. This looks similar to the method of overlaying in photoshop. 

Obviously the most famous painting showing the idea of time is Salvador Dali's, Persistence of Memory (1931) The artists interpretation is to show time as hard or soft. 

There are hundreds of gallery pieces which are coined as "moving paintings" but they simply use screens with a frame around it which does really, to me, come under the bracket of a painting. I think my idea is different in that it can be a stand alone painting itself but also can be brought to life.
