Artist's Statement
Artist Statement | Exhibition Three
- Artist’s Name: Lucy Murdoch
- Programme: Bachelor of Visual Arts
- Year: Three
- Title: Tango Mango and The Poogies – Exploring the visual narrative through assemblage
- Medium: Assemblage | Mixed Media
Research Question:
Through the mediums of assemblage sculpture, dioramas and
illustrative drawings how can I create a visual narrative that incorporates
creative play?
I have produced a diorama
styled assemblage to create a visual narrative and in this third exhibition I
hope the viewer will enjoy visiting the world of Tango Mango and the
Poogies.
Through practice based
research as my methodology I use creative play and an exploratory approach to
discover and test my work to create fun and cheerful characters in unusual
settings. My creative practice lies
somewhere between art and craft, my materials are very varied and flexible
using new, used and repurposed objects.
I have inconstant scales and apply
anthropomorphic characters and bright
colours in the work to give an emphasis to the fantastical art elements and the
magic of the visual narratives in my practice.
Historical influences
include Joseph Cornell 1903-1972 (USA) and Marc Giai-Miniet
1946-(France) who are artists who worked with dioramas and shadowboxes.
Theorist Stephen Nachmanovitch’s book on Free Play has been inspiring.
In exhibition three the dog
figure Tango Mango is the heroic character and her mannequin creates a safe diorama place for Poogies to reside in – she is their
liberator from Victor Barco and his dog posse. The headpiece
serves as a playful monument as an iconic figure. The suitcase is a secondary diorama setting
for Pickles Poogie and his playhouse – easily carried to safety by Tango. The story of Tango Mango and the Poogies has
the capacity to be developed into a storybook and towards the creation of a
stop motion animation in the future.
An artist's statement is a written document that introduces you as an artist. It explains why and how you make your art, along with other facts about you and your art. An artist's statement could be about a particular work or your entire body of work.
Many applications for awards, grants, fellowships, schools or jobs require an artist's statement.
Artist's statements typically contain:
- A few sentences on your personal relationship with art in general as well as why you do what you do.
- Your medium: paint, clay whatever. Why that's the right medium for you. Your favorite canvas size, tools you use. Does anyone assist you?
- Your current work: why you depicted whatever, if you work in more than one medium why you chose the medium for a particular work. What it means to you. What you hope it means for anyone looking at your work.

Crowdfunding -
- a good and simple way to get funds
- no accountability
- prepare
- know your crowd
- capture the imagination
- get your facts straight
- choose the right platform
- Kickstarter
- keep the application short
- Give the funder what they want
- Tell the funder who you are
- Describe the Problem and your solution
- Ask for project funding
- Be positive in your application
- Offer a human story
Budgets
What to charge participants?
Do I have to pay anyone any reimbursements for their time? Not for my workshop especially one held while I am still a student at SIT. I am not charging for my time.
•Travel - N/A own vehicle at own cost
•Equipment - unknown, but probably not needed to be listed as I am using a room at SIT - the project is assemblage so equipment is part of supplies - access to a first aid kit would be important. Find out what the hireage of the room costs.
•Supplies -
Hot glue gun & glue sticks - two would be ideal so more than one at a time can use.
Paper towels and wet wipes for cleaning up
pva and tacky glue
paper - A4 and A3
card - mix of colours
double sided tape
sellotape
markers and pencils
paints and brushes
paper clay
own stash of objects and spare bits to share and use - a great way to use excess items I have sourced throughout the year.
In-Kind Contributions
In-kind contributions are goods or services donated to the organization. These services/contributions can often be used as matching funds by many funding sources. Examples of gifts-in-kind include:
- corporate volunteers and pro-bono professional services - does Kathryn come under this banner?
- use of a building and utilities ; find out cost of room hireage
- advertising - Kathryn to assist with promotion of activity
donation of computers, or other tech resourcestransportation
Writing a Project Proposal
•Write up a
project proposal for something that relates to you and your practice
•Identify
stakeholders, collaborators, and who will benefit from your project
•Select at
least one body from whom you would like funding
•Draw up a
budget
