I presented sound work I’d made using morse code, some textile binary code pieces and binary code digital drawings.
I got useful comments, feedback and questions from other creatives and got to see/feel how the sound work partnered with the visual.
Receiving feedback is being offered new perspectives and ways of looking and thinking about my work – how it is constructed, exhibited and interacted with, which I might not have thought about without the opportunity to share it in a critical setting.

I presented a selection of work from my ongoing project TAG, intricate/time-consuming cross stitches exploring graffiti tags in and around Southampton, thinking about who is making these tags, why, and what this signifies.
From my presentation I got confirmation that my work was speaking to an audience in ways that I had hoped it would. People ‘got it’ without long explanations prior to the presentation, as some of my work is Street Art I don’t have a direct dialogue with my audience so this was good to know.
Receiving feedback means connecting, sharing, listening, talking, thinking and reflecting with other artists. Focusing on the work rather than the maker is invaluable.
