bullet points.

No matter what forms my research journal will take, I need to collect, collate, document and note-take.

• bibliography

• annotated notes, images; about specific exhibitions/writers/filmmarkers, television

• analogue / digital drawings , photographic documentation, visual record keeping

• notes from within your own practice

• your critical writing and reflections on lectures/events

My self directed piece. An artwork inspired by or comprising of the lo – fi techniques we have covered in workshops.

Working through:

Action plan:

Continue to explore the city at night as a ‘theatre’ for constructed photographic works

Experiment with text / language / the spoken word

Continue to work with words as screen prints

Re working original works

More practice with mark making

Work on ideas for costumes /masks – maybe work with people in Theatre Costume pathway.
