Exhibition Review

Recently the college held an exhibition displaying a variety of A Level work. We have been asked to find a piece we found particularly interesting and review it as research. One display that appealed to me was by Joshua Woodford. The ideas and concepts behind his work are what appealed to me. For his final piece, he created a bedroom.

The bedroom aimed to show how people interact with things they come across in their everyday lives, eg: family, friends, pets, objects. Along with the clash of private and public that comes with these interactions.

Having spoken to Woolford, he told me he was heavily inspired by Tracy Emins and her infamous piece, 'My Bed'. Where she reveals her most secret place to the public eye in its 'embarrassing glory' showing the world her true habits and imperfections. A concept that Woolford has aimed to recreate with his own twist.
