Tailor made
Don’t we love something that’s tailor made, something that’s made to fit, made to measure, that’s custom made, high quality and very likely high price. Some people reply on tailor made items for accessibility and for many other reasons. I’m not sure that I have anything like this in clothes or any possessions because of various reasons, but I’ve provided the service in the form of artwork that would be considered tailor made. As an artist who has worked on commission I’ve regarded making art work for clients as making a ‘tailored made’ artwork that has high quality and uniqueness that the client knows they can’t find elsewhere. It’s special to them and the maker, which makes for a superlative image.
I think that an artwork that we make to show and/or sell is different to ‘tailer made’. Tailor made really refers to making items purposefully for an individual client. Would you agree?
I think of my own artwork as unique processes of my imagination, that few could identify my style of work with anyone else or any movement, but I can acknowledge that some may view this differently. However I believe that many would say that most work can be identified as being similar to other artists work in some way. Is this what other artists think of their own work or would you want to be compared to others or other approaches? I open this question to you?
PAMIS:
Now other news: talking about tailor made- I’ve been in discussion with PAMIS and their creative team in a fantastic collaboration, about providing art session to youngsters. Further details about this will be made available soon. PAMIS stands for ‘Promoting A More Inclusive Society’.
