Layers
 Getting to the construction stage of Studio Practice 2 has need of foundation for guidance and practical planning.

Construction Plan - foundation for guidance  
Layers of Textiles & Mixed Media - Layers of Self/Layers of Place
3D folded memory books
Embroidery tapestry

Embroidery Tapestry
Health and Safety:
Preparation of area
To prevent marking the studio wall a layer of newspaper print was placed under the soluble water material   I sourced and placed the overhead projector with the help of my colleagues and staff member.
 
Photographic imagery
The projection of the A4 photographic acetate imagery outlined with pen the void imagery onto the water soluble material.   


Safe working practices for sewing machine stitching of vertical and horizontal grid. 
Machine stitching of grid lines shrinks the imagery outline.  The outline imagery hand embroidery secured the horizontal and vertical grid lines. 

 
Analysis
The practical procedures are lengthy and time consuming that required assistance.  Other options will need to be considered.  I will prepare a template of the final construction to discuss with tutors. 
It seems to me that the project’s loss of memory theme is becoming more prominent in the media.  This was demonstrated by a BBC Scotland’s radio programme. 
The programme highlights the difficulties with memory loss when eating out in restaurants.   A simple positive solution that enable the person with memory loss and their families.  A solution that adapts the surroundings of a restaurant will give opportunities to socialise and reduce their sense of isolation.
 My Project interest in sustainable practice was caught by radio discussion with Katherine Hamnett. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b055jmv5

 

 Action Plan
Prepare final construction template for next week
The time plan for my colleagues requires submission of the mid module next week.  As I have previously submitted my mid module for tutorial feedback I will need to confirm if I am required to complete any official procedures.  This will help avoid a repeat of the revised PLP difficulties. 

Contextual Studies  

The Studio Practice 2 research has been strengthen by Contextual Studies research.
