I have asked two of my Foundation students to provide me with further feedback. Their key comments are summarised below.
- There is an interesting dynamic of placing myself as a lens of a camera inside of a machine, which represents cycle
- Focus on a relationship between ‘me’ and the nature of my work – interaction with references to monotony
- It is very relevant to the key events of the Corona virus crisis – combination and juxtaposition of chaos and moments of stillness
- It is necessary to keep the entire cycle in the video to express my creative intention of waiting
- Consider using a real washing machine as a working object and experimenting with different cycles and programmes.
- There is a good level of demanding the patience and feeling of entrapment.
- Leo really enjoyed watching the entire experience, from start to finish, despite understanding how a washing machine works.
- It is not just about painting – the focus is on the whole experience.
- Watching the machine work from the inside has shifted the perspective totally and created the division between the inside and the outside.
- There is a great relevance on the context of the pandemic through the purpose on the metaphorical meaning of cleaning.
- It is about putting your own meaningful artwork through this process and getting it transformed into something new without having any control over how it will develop.
- Both, the video and the audio provide appropriate contextualisation.
