A useful aspect of this meeting was that by bringing some of the smaller pieces I had been working on with me, I was able to get feedback from fresh eyes and people who aren't familiar with my work. This feedback sparked up new ideas and concepts which I hadn't considered before. A strong point that was discussed was the relevance of the materials I worked on: the fact that one of the pieces I brought with me was made on a pillow case transformed its meaning. A pillow case suggests something personal, as you dream and sleep on it, you leave an imprint on it with the weight of your head, your skin and your hair, which was a profound idea and tied in perfectly with the angle from which I approached the theme.
In addition to this, we discussed different ways that these pieces might be exhibited. One suggestion was that rather than displaying them on the window, they could be placed in a light-box, which also gives them a sculptural element and works in the exhibition space's favour when considering the small amount of wall space there is.
