I have been asked to consider how I might present my body of work to a public audience. I’ve already decided a large photo book is an appropriate, tangible and mobile method for displaying my work to a public audience. However, I have collated my thoughts on how else I might present my body of work, namely in a gallery space or a site-specific installation.

WiP #13 – Reflections Processing in Photoshop
My tutor has mentioned to me before that I might try experimenting with the reflections that are evident in some of my composites. We discussed how this might be a way of subtly inferring to the viewer that something is not quite right with the images - that they are in fact composites.
Showing Not Telling – Poetry and Image Forming a Diegesis
Following on from Showing Not Telling – Text and Image to Form Diegesis , I've been inspired to make 9 more poems for the remaining diptychs. In my opinion text has been used in a totally different way (relay as opposed to anchorage) to inform the images.
Showing Not Telling Using Google Maps/Street View
As I alluded to in the post Showing Not Telling, I have decided to make a post detailing how I make a map-based approach to titling the diptychs for my body of work.

The concept that drives the project doesn't have to start by drawing a circle on a map for instance in order for the project to be titled this way. Instead the map can be a tool that embellishes the project, by inviting the viewer to delve deeper into the map or coordinates that point to the map.
WIP #3
I revisited the same two locations as found in WIP #2. The reasoning behind this was so I could experiment with how I place people within the scene.
My Experimentation With Making a Papier-mâché Ball
I eventually decided to try out making a papier-mâché ball out of photographs printed on plain paper and other articles on Deptford. I found the process time-consuming but rewarding and it did make me think about how photographs are used and their context, rather than solely the final photograph.
Engaging in Urban Image Making Symposium
On the 3rd May 2019 I attended the Engaging in Urban Image Making Symposium at Goldsmiths University of London. I was drawn to this symposium by the fact that Gill Golding would be talking about her practice and her new project. I had heard about Gill Golding because of her work photographing Deptford which had … Continue reading Engaging in Urban Image Making Symposium
