Another full day on the course, reflecting on yesterday, learning and practising new skills, asking questions and sharing ideas. The process of identifying intention seemed to be a very pertinent one for me, facilitating a consideration about the point of a conversation or naming the desired outcome. Recalling a digital making conversation with engineer Derek Hillyard about Design Intent, I have been pondering about where intention fits in with art practice and particularly process led art practice.
