Peer evaluation feedback

- Nice and outdoorsy - an ongoing theme, which is great, shows a real personal interest flowing through the work.

- Absolutely loved the full moon walk idea and how work has been inspired from this to create visual connections to a personal experience.

- Maybe could look at using film, create a visual for people so they can travel with you as you go on the walks.

- Good body of work. Good background knowledge of artists. Presentation a bit mucky on the wall.

- Idea of place is main theme, particularly significant and personal places.

- Extensive artist research and large backlog of work.

- Process of this project is essential and you can see the process of it very clearly.

- Organically formed narrative gone hand in hand with the process.

- Jess has an excellent full body of work that shows a clear and extensive process of ideas. Her work is very imaginative and the presentation of her work is to a very high standard.

- Jess seems to be very involved in her work that helps put across a personal theme and narrative for the viewers. Skills she has developed through self-directed study show the high level of competence and innnovation that I feel deserves a First Class.

- Extensive research and use of journal is obvious and I really enjoyed the layout of the work on the wall - The little shelf that had been put up and the two pieces of work in frames gave it something more, and again made it more personal and showed truly that you are comfortable and at home with the work. Inspiring stuff!

Pleasantly surprised by the peer feedback, having been certain that my intentions with this project had been misunderstood. There are points here that I felt that although I had not mentioned in my peer evaluation, had been picked up on- particularly pleased with the statement about me feeling 'at home' with my work. I do, and I'm pleased that this comes across as it's a new and refreshing feeling for me.
I'm interested in the idea of working with film if I went on to explore this I would want to make something as intangible and misreadable as all of my other work, however. Create something abstract and drifty. This is definitely something that needs to be looked at.
It struck me how often the word 'process' was used in my feedback- the process is important! Edith pointed it out to me first, and now in this feedback it is repeated- I was the only one that couldn't see it!
Looking forward to working now for the Lift and continuing my practice with this feedback in mind.
