Keep going

This Tuesday, I had my second tutorial with Jonathan, and we discussed a lot of things:

We started talking about my process and the possibilities I found on trying to avoid rational thinking in order to create my work. I explained the different stages of it and what I was trying to accomplish. He was glad I was trying to create pieces that went beyond narrative.

Then he asked me about maybe thinking about a way to create different kinds of objects, some kind of recipient for my images. I told him that I was already thinking about that, thanks to a visit I made to the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, where I saw his pottery pieces.

I was fascinated as I thought that those were proof of his attempt to study 3D images, I also told him that that day I made a connection to another memory I had when I visited the Metropolitan Museum in New York city, it was on October 2012 and I saw a real sarcophagus for the first time, that day I was particularly impressed by the arrangement of images painted both inside and outside of this magnificent object.

He recommended I see the work of Justin Mortimer.

Near the end of the tutorial I showed him the exploration I am doing around mirrors and reflections, I explained that everything started with a lunch on an special place in Barcelona were I found a pretty interesting wall, he told me that he had seen the post I made about it and that it was a good example of what one should do on a regular basis.

I showed him a video of the experiment I am doing right now and how I want to approach it in the future. He told me that this was a really interesting idea and encouraged me to keep exploring.

At the end he told me also to take a look on the work of Manfred Mohr.
