Acrylic paint on paper - A4. Altered book (book, acrylic, black and silver pen) - Bee Bearding. Posted by Alexa Cox. This is a double portrait composition. I wanted to create the impression of the figures being unaware they were being observed. Think this works well because of the imposed but unconnected shadow behind. I think this...

Professional Context: November 2011

Wednesday, 30 November 2011. Breaking Boundaries Audience Response. I was really nervous about conducting the interviews but found that this was a more personal way of recording a response and allowed me to develop the questions. Both hosts of the painting responded more favourably at the end of the day than they did at the beginning and again they found personal aspects which they could relat e to in the image.

Professional Context: June 2011
http://alexacoxcontext.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 6 June 2011. Spoke about choice of double portrait to create tension and contrast. I want to display my work somewhere which adds another layer of tension to the encounter. Discussed displaying paintings in toilets - i like this as I would expect there to be mirrors which would add to the idea of pairings and reflection. C suggested I look at the 'Toilet Gallery' in Kingston. Http:/ www.facebook.com/search.php? Posted by Alexa Cox. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.

Professional Context: Pre BB Audience Questions
http://alexacoxcontext.blogspot.com/2011/11/pre-bb-audience-questions.html
Wednesday, 30 November 2011. Pre BB Audience Questions. Currently, I am trying to gain exposure to diversify my audience as raise my profile as an artist. Who is my intended audience? How can I clearly convey meaning to my intended audience? Do I have an incidental audience? Does the artist have a responsibility to the audience? How does the artist diversify and widen audiences? Does an audience need interpretation of a work? Who are the performers, the artists or the audiences? Posted by Alexa Cox.

Exploratory Project: Day of Making
http://alexacoxexpro.blogspot.com/2012/04/day-of-making.html
Wednesday, 11 April 2012. These photos record the point I got up to after the morning of making.the colour is slightly muddier than in real life but perspective is right (photos taken from above). The top image shows the paintings the way round that they were intended but I have also shown them the other way round which I feel has quite a different dynamic as the figures lean into each other. The figures looked sinister. The viewer is challenged by their direct gaze. Like the Midwich cuckoos.
