Visual research May 2019
I constantly collect images that interest me, then several times a year I go through them, sort them into rough groups, stick them in my workbook and write notes on why I chose them underneath. From there I'm able to pull out possible areas of interest, recurring themes or ideas I hadn't recognised before. I try not to self-censor and I keep anything that catches my eye even if I worry that it's a bit far from 'art' or my practice as such. Fashion, pop culture etc can all have useful take-outs.
