Edinburgh Colleges’ artist in residence Pavlos Georgiou gave us a talk about his work on Friday morning. I was very interested to hear about how he carried out researching and developing his ideas. His whole focus for his degree show when he was at ECA, was the relationship and history behind various objects. Pav displayed photographs of his pieces along with documentation of the final works at the degree show. He talked about how he worked tirelessly to make sure no light passed through into the space. This rendered the room holding his pieces completely black, except for the lights above the pieces, illuminating them for the viewer.
Pav explained how much freedom and space he got to work with at certain points in his education. I felt inspired to think bigger and branch out my ideas. Thinking about the space that a piece of work can be displayed in is interesting, on one hand you might not consider this, but on the other the piece might not work without it.
