In the tutorial we discussed how there are two ways I could take this project to emulate the themes and theories I have been studying.
- make it a self-contained project that is secret, working in isolation like the outsider artists
- keep it secret, but post these images online. Through this I would be examining identity (by ridding myself of my own, essentially working anonymously through a pseudonym) and can measure audience/ viewer response to this unknown identity but also how the images look (do they care more for the messier pieces? how far can you push that aesthetic). I can also see how my own identity affects how I work
I would try to gain attention for these works through tagging, and maybe following artists/ galleries, but I think to talk about it on my own social media would mean that people would look at it through a lens of "oh, Molly did this". I'm not sure how successful this will be because I'm not sure I have enough time to garner a big enough following (response) but I will give it a go! At some point I will have to look back and evaluate this project for my dissertation, but I can also see myself carrying it on regardless, and maybe if something notable comes up over christmas break I could slot in some findings/ change report quantitive numbers etc
