how will you achieve what you had hoped in this year? Can you achieve more?
What can you do to extend your knowledge and push yourself?

 

This year I would like to expand and develop what I have been working on over the summer. During the summer and over lockdown, I wrote more poetry to extend my 3rd movement of “This is My Voice”. I also made a video installation for OOSOOM 2020 exhibition, featuring a film of myself in a unicorn mask reciting poetry on a telephone.

 

I want to carry on making work from my poetry:

  • Soundscapes
  • Livestream Performances
  • Video Collages
  • Digital illustration
  • Zines

 

Things to work towards:

  • OOSOOM Exhibition – start point – already made
  • Trans Pride Performance – put poetry about being trans together, record sounds, record video
  • More livestream performances – use sound board

  • Through photographic documentation and voice recordings.
  • Vlogs on my YouTube channel and blog

Your reflection
How well can you communicate your ideas and processes?

  • By writing the blog, so far, I have found that it helps me to articulate what I am thinking about whilst I work.
  • Making little video clips and collecting clips has helped me communicate my ideas.

How well can you present your outcomes? 

  • As I work with video and performance, I mostly present my work on YouTube, Instagram or TikTok. These platforms help my work to reach a wider audience.
  • I also have a website where I present my work: voicesxbyjamie.com

 

What are the skills you needed to complete this body of work effectively?

  • I need to learn how to use my graphics tablet to help me create my illustrations for my ‘motifs’
  • I am already pretty good at using film and sound editing software
