David Callow was really positive about my work and gave me some useful advice that helped clarify my ideas and the direction of my work.
He said just to really push the experimentation and techniques I used and suggested things like screen printing straight on the wall which I might consider and said that my work had a kitsch quality to it which I enjoyed although I did look up the definition of kitsch and it seems to have quite negative, whimsical connotations. He also inspired me to create my own patterns and layer up my images with a combination of elements, details, patterns and colours. When I mentioned about finding a space to exhibit he said he thought I should make the space somewhere 'really nice to be in'. I know matt had previously mentioned to me that he thinks using royal memerobillia was too twee but I'm still worrying about the rate and progression of my work so I think if I play around with displaying and integrating objects such as these then this will ulitmately lead me somewhere.
