Today we had an two lectures that came to our class to talk about what there passionate about and what they do when they research into that idea and how they can developing it or extending those idea to its limit. Richard Orji’s idea was amazing why? Because I never knew that artist can use cult for a ritual in his work. Mr. Orjis is a photography and a sculpture, his artwork is about conflicting about humans and mother earth nature that deals with physical and psychological that there are not created or being controlled by humans and that his work is about rituals with this mysterious feeling while watching his video called the gravy is a non-existent shadowy group of mysterious people covered in mud or cult completing his ritual he did to summon nature. He was very passionate about his artwork how he was working with lots of different things, but everything he did he would stay in the same place but it revolve around ritual, religious, cult, human and nature. This can also relate to how I can be passionate about, because I love exploring a lot of things about my culture, my religious and how I can become an better artist. What I love about his art is how he seeks to connect contemporary things like culture with cult, human and nature, and bringing in religious ritual that all connects to what his form of art means. His passionate also relates to another lecture that came to our class today, her name is Rebecca Ann Hobbs and she came to talk about what is she working on and how we can we research, so she showed us how we can start of like having an beginning and a ending, so she talked about her work on this project she is working on till now, about sounds, and stuff that relates to sex and aids. This video that I snap shot of YouTube is the video that Rebecca show to the class. What I do understand is that this video that Rebecca showed us, is what she wants to work on and how she is researching, many things that relate to music and sex. This also can help me with my situation, I am passionate in knowing my own culture and this strategy is keep researching a lot of things that contains information about my culture or relate my artwork to other artist. This is what I want to do when I am have a degree is to know my own kind, where I came from, because I was born in N.Z and I wasn’t raise in the island and this is why I am passionate to do.
