I say:” How to best capture the interest of an audience with stories that they maybe weren’t looking for.“ My current project won’t be able to reach people who weren’t looking for a story if I present it in a gallery but may achieve this aim if I can launch it on Instagram. Jane Horton did something similar with her Tang Ox. It’s interesting to consider how many images to release at a time and whether daily postings is the best way to attract an audience.
I want to use this opportunity to learn to:
• make drawings which communicate.
• select scenes and subjects that are narrative.
I’ve concentrated so far on a single project. That’s because my time is limited and I find it hard to juggle too many things at once. I do create other drawings all the time so I need to think about whether they have a narrative aspect. It’s as important to me to narrate in a single image but possibly harder to achieve.
• use a small number of images to tell a story. Am I making too many images?
• leave in some ambiguity so that the viewer does some of the work to complete the story. Is it ambiguous enough or am I falling into the trap of explaining everything?
Apart from this I hold the same concerns about the Manifesto and Project Plan that I had when I submitted them, it still feels idealistic and unrealistic.
