The meeting was predominantly used to discuss
practice based work currently being conducted.
This work consisted of the following:
- Hi-Res scans of
portraits dealing with the 'Chronotype' (The same sitter with a 22 year
gap between each portrait) The presentation of which was discussed, with
the negative rebate being considered important to the viewer In terms of
identifying a shift in Hardman's practice and equipment.
- A series of 'Re-photography'
images of Vale Royal in response to Hardman's location based portraits of
Lady Delamere originally taken in 1937.
- A series of 'Re-photography'
images of Dr Sykes garden originally taken in 1936.
The importance of methodology was also
discussed, in terms of ensuring the database is at the centre of all archival
intervention, and clearly driving the selection process and creative output.
In response to this discussion it was
suggested that Keith should:
- To spend a limited timeframe just dealing with one specific aspect of the creative output, which was suggested to be the 'Re-photography' element of the location based portraits.
- To begin to
write a brief abstract (short paragraph) specifically about the individual
creative outputs starting with the 'Re-photography' of location based
portraits.
- To consider
other creative strategies, such as using the paragraphs within Hardman's
written 'Lecture on Portraiture' in linking his actual portraits to his
words. Lastly to consider the use
of key events in Liverpool to link to the timeframe of the portraits.
