Ideas for my uncle's immigration issues

An audio description below talks about the artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster and how their work inspires my ideas for my uncles immigration issues.




Transcript

00:00:00 Speaker 1

These two artists, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, are two london-based artists who collaborate turning rubbish into art.

00:00:12 Speaker 1

When I first look, I just see powers of random pieces of junk and waste, things that could be in the bottom of your draw just piled up together. Things from your rubbish bin.

00:00:27 Speaker 1

But I think it's this amazing how they've just so carefully crafted.

00:00:33 Speaker 1

These crisp.

00:00:37 Speaker 1

Costumes of Shadows of silhouettes of people.

00:00:41 Speaker 1

The trash in these works is real and confrontational.

00:00:47

And.

00:00:47 Speaker 1

Changing our out of sight out of mind, attitude towards waste.

00:00:54 Speaker 1

My project that I'm doing doesn't necessarily tie in with the waist side of things.

00:01:01 Speaker 1

But I do like the message that.

00:01:04 Speaker 1

They are shown because it is a counterculture within what they are doing, trying to make people more aware of their own waste, including my own.

00:01:15 Speaker 1

I would like to take inspiration from.

00:01:18 Speaker 1

Their pieces.

00:01:21 Speaker 1

To somehow use pieces of.

00:01:25 Speaker 1

Material and my uncles passport has remained to Lee Pass that he has got now from my mum having to pay thousands and thousands of pounds.

00:01:40 Speaker 1

For my uncle to be still living in the UK.

00:01:45 Speaker 1

Anything that my uncle might have from his home in Liberia?

00:01:49 Speaker 1

Like traditional cloth could be things that I've never seen before.

00:01:54 Speaker 1

Like his own personal keepsake, things that he might may have.

00:02:00 Speaker 1

My uncle was a working man. He works six days a week before he retired and for a car company where he worked as a.

00:02:08 Speaker 1

I.

00:02:09 Speaker 1

Could include things like.

00:02:12 Speaker 1

That you'd find in the mechanics.

00:02:15 Speaker 1

Screwdrivers and tool kits and cleaning materials. Oil things like that. And maybe I could then cast a shadow of his portrait.

00:02:29 Speaker 1

And onto the wall.

Professional Practice Talk Talk 1 - Tom Hackett It was really interesting how Tom took us on a journey through his work. The first thing up on the screen was his CV, which started off as a list format and then spiralled on a journey of organised chaos that he navigated us through. I found Tom's work and journey really inspiring. Like the huge hand-knitted coloured net that covered the building above. "You have to go to the world.... The world won't go to you" I really like this quote above from Tom because as a working artist, you have to push hard and grow a thick skin to get your work out there. Along the way, you will hear a lot of no's. Tom is a successful artist, not just from his skill as a creator alone but because of his can do attitude and his likeable personality. An example of how Tom goes above and beyond was when he stayed awake on a small rowing boat for 24 hours. He collected water samples from along the river Severn in Worcester to then create this...

Final Development for Portrait Project 'Torn Emotions'

Final video of Torn Emotions for Portrait   I decided to change the music for my short video using Artist Cleo Sol- Myself. I feel that the lyrics work with this piece giving the viewer hope if you are going through a troubling time. I was unfortunate on this day of recording to not have a beautiful sunny day so I created my own light in the background to recreate a sunny day as I wanted to get that sun ray effect on the video. I attached an A3 piece of acetate to the back of my piece and then I further stitched on top to connect my images all together. This was to correct where I removed the stitching on acetate I didn't like.
