As the artist statement or about page is a key marking criteria in this brief, but also because it can make or break a website depending on the quality and how it portrays you, I decided to separate my website research into a separate exploration into Artists Statements.
First up I looked at the suggested Previous students webpages, choosing Olivia Berggren and Mike Winnard's webpages.
Olivia's Statement is short but straight to the point, it establishes her practice and interests in a professional and third person manner summed up in under 100 words. She uses this short paragraph to then be reflected against the rest of the website which is mainly visual imagery. In doing so she contrasts the point in her work loosely and allows the audience to get that when they view her work.
Mike on the other hand doesn't have an about section as such he summarizes who he is as "I make pictures and I live in Leeds.' However the layout of his website is different than Olivia's rather than the site being mainly visual with this short paragraph, Mike has reflected about what he is doing in each project along side the imagery to create a narrative in his work. Making the about page not as necessary compared to images without explanation.
