Thinking about…..
- Format: I would like the project to be constructed simply but needs to be able to portray pace & flow
- Colour schemes: I have been looking at various Moquette patterns and TFL posters, and conversely photographs of London, to get a sense of hues that best reflect 1) The environment and 2) My intended atmosphere.
- Audience: Considering the personal connection to the work and potential audience
- Psychogeography: A brief look into this theory: “the effect of a geographical location on the emotions and behaviour of individuals” – reflecting on how the environment affected my feelings and in turn, the reason why I focused on these people in particular.
Listening / Watching / Reading….
– Podcasts: Scientists who specialise in the physical construction of memory to gain a grasp of the basics of how memory works on a biological level
– Risograph: Online tutorials and a looking into which mediums best to use with this method of printing. I can see how this process may be a beneficial way of combining final images into the informal layout I am envisaging.
– Tangent Threads: Following on from conversations of Passages, researching tangents which have connections to communication and memory (Camera Obscura, Mis En Abyme) to gain thoughts on how best to depict memory in my drawings.
Articles/ Essays such as:
– Art Based Communication for Individuals with Dissociative Spectrum Disorders“
– “Effectiveness and feasibility of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) in patients with borderline personality disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder – a pilot study”
These have helped me gain some understanding of how and why art therapy is beneficial in trauma causes. On a less extreme level, I am creating links between these treatments and my own reasons for creating the project.
