Arabella plouvles
Arabella starts of her talk by talking about her work with in the Durham prison. at the time she was there the prison was being re built. she worked with the woman prisoners for a year while the place was being rebuilt. she describes what the prison was like when she was there what the women she worked with were like and how she used this in her work.
this piece of work she created she states she found cheep, small pieces but brightly coloured so she could create how she wanted the scene to be and then take images of this and then blow the images up so that the images was big.
she then went on to talk about taking pictures of students or other people and them not being all the way comfortable having there picture taken but when they have something else to focus on like a phone then they become much more natural and relaxed that when they didn't. they become unaware that their picture is being taken.
the last piece of work she talked about was the photos she took while working at a care home. she took pictures of the people living there, of them ant the space where they lived and the photos they had around them. the title of this work was Alzheimer's: a quite story. the way she explained this project is that around all these people in the care homes there were photos of that persons family but not the actual people. her work was to ask the questions about the people in the phots and the people that are surrounded by said photos but not knowing the answers to the questions that her photos asked. she developed 20 photos all together and they went into a exhibition.
I think that the way she shown her work was good. her presentation was accompanied by photos of her work.
