- What are the main areas or ideas for reflection from the feedback you received?
- Something that stands out to me is how my tutor really liked the pieces I didn’t particularly think were strong. I experimented with taking photos with wires on my screen, and I wasn’t happy with how they turned out, but my tutor really thought they were powerful. This makes me want to be more experimental and take a few more risks. Post work that I perhaps don’t think is finished and get feedback on it.
Creating any piece of work is a risk, and it exposes you to criticism, something nobody enjoys, but it is how we all learn and develop. It is something I definitely need to get better at. I could be braver with what I post here and open myself up for feedback more instead of waiting for a polished piece of work.

- How will you develop and refine your work and ideas in response?
- As mentioned, I want to be more creative and experimental. I need to get back into playing with ideas and not necessarily only post on here the ones that feel finished.
One thing I could do a lot more of is using my sketchbook to develop ideas and show how I get to my finished pieces.
Another aspect my tutor mentioned was to explain my thinking a little more.

- Which sections of your work do you want to explore in more detail, and how might you do that?
- I really want to explore this idea of the internet and time spent and now bring in place too. The internet is a place that perhaps doesn’t meet the conventional understanding of place, but we all curate our own little corners of the web. There isn’t a physical space but a digital space. How can I explore this?
- What elements of your work start to reflect something about the place you chose to work in, and how might you build on that?
- My work was based around my desk and where I work. How it is all digital and not something with a physical presence. Is this still a place?
