Finally have the printed materials sent off to the printers and I’m waiting on the last of the ceramic decals to finish my research participants work. It’s been a long time coming, but the collaborative exhibition of my research will be opening on Monday 22nd May 2023 in the glass cube and foyer of the Birley Building, Ulster University. The participant’s work will be featured in the glass cube, along with some artwork participants have made previously on the topic of body image. The walls of the foyer will be cordoned off to apply trigger warnings so the audience can decide if they are able to engage with the work, rather than being confronted by it. My work that explicitly unpacks my own experience of poor body image and eating disorders will be in the foyer space and the distinction will be made between this practice and the participants’ objects.
