When considering what makes a ideal, the objects artists and locations that came to mind were the ones that had an emotive sense of nature. As I was selecting my 15 objects I started to see similarities from one object to another. I have always been drawn to texturally beautiful things, nature, sculpture and tradition. I have also always been fascinated by fables and mythological creatures.
If I were to do this presentation again I would consider categorising my Gesamtkunstwerk objects into related ideas or objects. finding stronger connections between each. looking back on this task I was disappointed by the delivery of my ideas. I was thrown by the 15 seconds. I feel I was trying to fit too much information into the time and should have focused more on the way the objects made me feel.
The best part about this task for me was the feedback I got given for my chosen objects in relation to my own practice. I was intrigued by the words that came up and how accurate they were to my work and interests.
