I have just had a tutorial with Jessica Longmore. In relation to Liz's tutorial earlier in the week it was really interesting to get another artists point of view about the work I am producing at the present time.
Jessica asked me about the work I am looking at and I explained about the subject of consumerism that #I have been exploring for the past year.
She was really interested in the receipts section to my work as it is a repetitive process and she thought it was great that that idea stemmed from one of the readings from Michael Branthwait.
It was really interesting the ideas that she was providing me with, one of the artists Jessica wanted me to look at is a performance artist that looks at how important process is in a piece of art. This is a Chinese artist called 'Teching Hsie', this artist also looks at repetition in the same sense as the receipts that I am working with.
To find the artist I need to search on google 'Liverpool Biennial' and then there is a piece of art called '1 Year performance'. (I am going to have a look at this very soon!)
In relation to my receipts, we were discussing which route I could go on, one of the routes that I found intriguing is seeing how many categories I can sort them into until there can be no more categorizing.
I mentioned that I went to the Damien Hirst exhibition and enjoyed that he used various categories which I have began to display in my work. Jessica said that I should have a look at archives in library to help with the idea of grouping the receipts.
Therefore, I might take a trip to the museum to see different orders they present their objects in.
Another artist was mentioned during our tutorial, her name was 'Alice Bradshaw'. She collected all of the materials she used for a year including the pens that have ran out when writing ect. I like this because its like storing an archive in which gives us an insight into the way she works and what she consumes within the year! She made a piece called 'Contemporary Museum of Rubbish'.
There was one main thing that stood out for me in this tutorial and it was to use natural materials to produce receipts.
I was thinking of going out to the local park and picking some of the leaves and seeing if I can print a receipt on the face of the leaf as an experiment!
Also, maybe in relation to the repetition, I could blog everyday about what I am doing every 10 minutes.

This tutorial was really good and very helpful!
