The images below are part of an ongoing Collaborative coversation with Victoria Mitchill and Karl Foster. The details and outcomes of this project can be viewed on the www.sorhed.com website. However I was interested in the links across the projects and the images of the apple that i recently used at the SCVA and at Goldsmiths with the MA AT and contemporary practices.
During the session with the MA group the coped image of the apple had been offered to them as a stimulus at the end of our time. The lowly nature of the image was cast aside in relation to the enaged and haptic relationship the students had had with the earlier objects. The apple was a mere representation and the reaction to it was that it wasn't enough. It was a dissapointment. One individual wanted to lift it from its state and allow it to become a form, a 3 dimesional form of the object it stood form. This idea of lifting it from its origins is interesting. The space between the apple and the image of the apple was an irritant after the very physical and enacted part of the session. There was an imagining that if the apple was formed with the paper it was on and became an object that replicated itself that it would have more potency. How far then is it from it's appleness. When I scrunched up the image, one person laughed dismissively and commented that it was just a piece of scrunched up paper. My preefencing and introuduction to the physical encounter took away all the value fromm the glossy photocopy, it was redundant - it was 'just' a just.

Kimberley FosterKimberley's practice as an artist is pedagogical, it doesn’t just reference learning, it plays with, embodies and encourages learning at its core. The objects consider ideas of collaboration and authorship, discussions about touch and encounter, and bring into active consideration issues of learning within social and participatory practices.
