University for the Creative Arts   2008/2009

Caron Ottewell

I would like to undertake a more ambitious body of work which extends on from the postcard pieces I am currently making. This work would go forward in two main areas: A) a change in scale and B) a change in materials. The postcard pieces are currently to scale using old postcards. I would like to make a large scale screen printed floor piece and explore how a change of scale affects how this works.

I would also like to make the postcards into ceramic souvenirs and look at the properties that change when something permanent in made from a throwaway object. I am currently unable to achieve either of these aims without the assistance of the AA2A scheme as I need access to both the sculpture and printmaking facilities to see these plans through.

Apart from the importance of my individual practice, a place on this scheme would allow me to complete and document this work prior to an MA application for 2009. I would also hope to include this work at the Charlton Art Centre in Dover.
