Miranda Richmond: Proposed speaker for OCA North Group

Miranda Richmond: Proposed speaker for OCA North Group

The three students who organise meetings for this group invited others to help and I have volunteered to improve my knowledge of and involvement in the activities of the OCA more peripheral to my course.

I have found that this gives me a forum for discussing and considering other art disciplines, for example when planning speakers for forthcoming meetings.

One suggestion has been the artist, Miranda Richmond who is currently exhibiting at Dean Clough. This meant that I needed to research her work in order to be better informed as to what to get out of the next study day.

I am not sure what I would want to know about precisely but thought her residency on Iona sounded interesting

Also her entry on the gallery site

says
“Her works are usually produced on location, which enables a direct and immediate response to the subject. “
I would be interested to hear how this immediacy relates to her works and how that might be relevant to us photographers who also produce the main part of our work on site.

I will add an update to this following the study day.
