4D: Time project

4D art contains a wide variety of art practices, but generally is divided in to 3 genres which are, Installation art, issue of site and audience interaction, hoe context alters meaning and impact. But overall 4D practice is very much time based.

For this project I looked at the artist Tehching Hsich. From 1980 to 1981, Hsich spent the entire year punching time  cards every hour for a project called "one year performance 1980-1981". Each time he punched his time card, he would have his photo taken, then every single photo that was taken from the whole year was put together to make a time-lapse that lasted around 6 minutes long.


So after looking at Hsich performance work, I then began to explore with time by making my own little time-lapse. The first time-lapse I did was set to take a picture every 2 minutes for 30 minutes, I really liked how good it looked when all the images was put together.

As soon as I got back to my flat, I put my camera on charge and slid it in to my window and set it up to take a photo for ever 2 minutes for 8 hours and 42 minutes, looking at the night turn into day, which then gave me the idea to go traveling, I set my camera to take a photo ever second while I was on the
train or when I was walking. When I was at work, I set the camera to ever minute.


After doing them time-lapses, it got me thinking about what they would look like if I put them together and made a bigger time-lapse. So I went on an app called I-movies and started to compose this short film which summed up my week-end, showing how repetitive it is, this short film ended up being just over 2 minutes long. 


Overall, I found this project very challenging but I really

enjoyed it. I can kind of see myself using this practice in the future because I like looking at how repetitive daily routine can be and looking at how it effects people.

Ana Teresa Barboza

Ana Teresa Barboza´s characteristic use of crafts such as patchwork, knitting or embroidery combined with other media on her artistic work, bestow a poetic quality to depictions of plants and their growth – which defy our serial and industrialized times. Since she graduated from the Art Faculty of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú , Barboza´s use of manual crafts became the means to convey a meditative and powerful observation with the environment and her relationship with reality. Her laborious use of traditionally feminine handicraft has become her trademark, where her interest was centered initially on depictions of herself and the relationship with her body and in Animales Familiares  on the liaison of herself and her relation with others by the use of animal metaphors. Through photographs the artist recently has registered spaces she inhabited for long periods of time. With this technique, her experiences were depicted in an image; printed on paper as footprints on

Lauren Velvick

Lauren Velvick is a writer, Artist and curator based in Manchester. She is currently CO director of the exhibition centre for the “life and use of books” and programme co-ordinator at Bluecoat Arts Centre in Liverpool. She is also a contributor to the national and local arts publications , for example : Arts Monthly, The Skinny, The Double Negative and This is tomorrow, and is also a contributing editor of corridor 8 She is inspired by Encountering every day creativity and intensely boring/meditative city walks, all sorts of things I like how she uses text , writing and speaking as a performance piece instead of just painting a picture but I don’t think I could do this in my practice because im not really a performing artist. I also like how her work is sometimes based on her response to other artist http://www.lifeanduseofbooks.org/old_site/corridor-videos.html I was unable to add some videos of Laurens work but here is a link to some

Family Selfie

Throughout this semester I wanted to challenge myself and look at working with calico, watercolour and stitch looking at figures in photographs, I also wanted this piece to be very personal to me and be in memory of my nanna as well as be a public piece. For this project I wanted to look at how The Walker Gallery is a very family friendly gallery but not everyone can Remember seeing all the gallery which gave me the idea to look at how our minds might betray what we remember. The piece I created was called “Family selfie” and its 8” x 8” and the media used was water colour and stitch on calico, it is about the idea of remembering little bits like colour of someone’s hair or the colour of what they are wearing, this piece is also about patchy memories and tangled thoughts, so you can remember what colour hair someone has but you can’t remember their facial features or brand of clothing they had on which ties in with why this piece is in the café.
