ORIGINS

I'm slightly late updating my blog when it comes to talking about where my work is going. (by the way, alot of what i'll be writing on my blog will have come from my reflective diary, the mini sketchbook)

I immediatly found the project origins really interesting, i especially enjoyed the launch of the project and the brief given.

When receiving the sleuths, spies and lies brief, i went away and sat in 'pret' (i always find it wasy to brainstorm in a coffee shop) and explored my thoughts. (areas i'd been recently wanting to look into anyway, i wanted to maybe diversify them into the brief)
- i loved the idea of working with black and white photos, looking at history and older generations, something with a story---nursery rhymes, childrens books etc
- i liked the idea of researching a person, linking them in to personal experiences, investing a phoebia for example
- i'd recently been to the restaurant 'BYRON' in london, and they have suggestion cards with definitions on the front of them (a very quirky and innovative restaurant) the one i picked up was 'LOVE'---- ether you are too immature to understand what i want, or youre too mature becasue you try to understand what everyone wants. you drive me crazy." i really liked the idea of analysing a peice of writing within my project which lead me on, to finally deciding on looking at Carol Ann Duffy as a person. Analysing her writing and relating experiences.
