05/01/2020 Research and ideas for Mini Brief The Head
Theme
The Head Mini brief - working in clay
Aiming to take a more fluid, painterly, illustrative approach than a ‘sculpture’ approach.
Possibly use slips etc on the wet/leather hard clay
Intend to make marks, finger prints etc
Self portrait? Imagination? Found image? Hybrid type?
Considering the ‘cameo’
Relevance to my essay subject ‘the selfie’ and ‘the toilette’. Cameo featured in the Boucher painting Madame de Pompadour at her Toilette displaying King Louis, her lover. The cameo is a selfie, given to a loved one.

This reminds me of Hito Steyerl’s lecture discussing the mass production of modern art. That everyone has an art project, and now, with perhaps the internet and reality TV, instagram, YouTube etc. we are ‘able?’ to achieve these projects. (Deskilling of Art).
