Aftermath 2094: Victoria Woollett
How would you describe your practice?
My practice tends to be very research focused and methodical, however, it can also be very experimental and explorative, by playing around with visual styles and going out my comfort zone.
What are you trying to communicate through your work?
Depends on what the work is. A few of my recent projects focused on our environment and climate change, and in these, I wanted to communicate that we can make a change and improve things - there’s still hope.
Are there aspects of Our Silver City, 2094 that inspired your work, outlook or you personally?
I found the humanity and hopeful aspects of Our Silver City, 2094 to be inspiring and a refreshing take on a world that has succumbed to climate crisis and human conflicts.
Describe your process of developing your work on this project from ideas, conversations through planning, to experiments and production.
My process was to listen to everyone’s ideas as well as share my own through meetings. My aim was to produce printed work that can represent everyone at large and bring forth the main overarching themes of this year’s Aftermath exhibition. I collected media to inspire ideas and communicate my own ideas. Experimenting with visuals and ways to communicate our message whilst taking onboard feedback, have also been big parts of the development of my work.
What does it mean to you to collaborate on this project?
It means being able to bring people’s ideas together, help showcase their work and provide context.
What do you hope visitors will experience or take away?
I hope it is a thought-provoking experience that inspires personal interpretation and allows for open conversation and discussion of various topics.
