Wednesday 30th April
Having met with Alex today, it seems that we both have enough ideas for a series of projects. We can now begin to single out our thoughts and put them into practice. During our conversation, there have been a number of related strategies that we are both interested in exploring: cutting away from an initial layer in order to reveal a secondary layer; cutting out photographic elements to alienate them from their original ‘’meaning’’; introducing textural/3-dimensional elements to an otherwise 2D surface. In order to organise our thoughts, we both agree that we should start making work and see what happens. Given that we have discussed and agreed on a number of overall ideas, it is best to start conversing on a visual level. I particularly look forward to seeing how Alex will be manipulating my own physical photographs, and I may start digitally manipulating some of Alex’s images in order to print and further manipulate using physical collage. I will start tomorrow morning.
