A couple of weeks ago I received a message from a friend back home asking if I would help her with her art project. Flo is currently undertaking her foundation year in London and the basis for her current project is audience participation. A print was sent to us that had been produced by her, with the simple instruction that we change it in whatever way appeared natural to us. In order to reflect a wider base, Flo selected a range of people with different studies, interests and occupations and did not state the origin of the print so as not to influence our input in any way.
After receiving the print I was drawn to the precariousness of the line within the image. The appearance of being entangled echoed the feeling of loss that holds a sense of familiarity for me as a young student. I thus chose to try and recreate this uncertainty through a series of questions written around the image. I wanted this to act as a simple indication of the many doubts that resonate along the path that you take.
Flo's art show takes place in April and I for one can't wait to see the outcome. There is an unpredictability as to where the project will end up much like that which is found within life - it is just this that I hope to have reflected in my chosen alteration. There is a clear sense of anticipation as we wait to discover how others will have approached the same task, and the undoubtable diversity that will encompass the pieces.
