I really didn’t feel up for having a tutorial today. Was feeling a little lost and despondant and thought of cancelling. I felt that I didn’t represent myself well as I didn’t show my videos and I skipped through tons of stuff that had been important to me. However, even through all this I was able to reflect and focus in. Neil suggested scaling up my work but using what I already have rather than creating additional material. He also suggested using the collage and drawing together.
One thing he did suggest and something that has really helped guide me and my work was the book, ‘A field Guide to Getting Lost’, by Rebecca Solnit. There are aspects of this book that have helped define my thinking when considering memory, space, the woods and the house. The term ‘Shul’ is one that really resonates and has fed into my research for my portfolio.
