I popped over to the Forum to see Aviva briefly and had a chat about how my work was going, I was unsure where to go, weave, print, stitch? or all of them? Speaking to her made me realise I wasn't sure on my direction just yet, I haven't tried to explain it properly to anyone, its all jumbled in my head and doesn't make complete sense just yet. I went home and made various mind maps, trying to unpick my ideas and explore what it is that really interests me and how I am going to ask my self the question/learning agreement.
I read through the PDP building a project presentation from Les, and some of the questions helped me think about my project further. I have made a list of those questions and printed them out so I can use them as prompts for when I am struggling with reflecting or questioning my ideas. I prepared my studio space and stuck up inspiration images as I plan to use the studio as much as possible this year. I then went exploring Norwich with my camera handy. I walked around anglia square and ended up near the back of the car park, I was pretty high and ended up in a fab spot for photographs. I varied the shots, looking at the lines, grids and colour of buildings, walls and other unnoticed, unappreciated objects in te urban environment.
I had a play on photoshop, enhancing the colour and straightening them up and found my self loving the results. I just need to continue to draw from these and keep exploring the city with my sketchbook to make mark as drawing is the essential starting point! Hopefully this will help me decide on my sampling. Maybe its good not to know try intentions just yet?
