Studio Practice 2
Weakness - The Saga of the part timer returns
The submission of the pdf formatted Revised
PLP encountered difficulties.
I received e-mail
notification that the Revised PLP
submission required a filename. This PLP
filename instruction was notified to full time course colleagues but unfortunately not to the part
time student.
Evaluation
Yet again this issue
raised with tutor. As a solution I was
instructed to submit an e-mail to all the Studio Practice 2 tutors to include
me in their system.
Action Plan
This e-mail has been
submitted and I have asked class colleagues to forward any communication they
receive.
Strength of Studio Practice 2 Research
A timely reminder not to sweat the small stuff and
focus on the aims of the project.
I was reminded of the bigger scheme of things by the
media report highlighting dementia care .
This website provided an opportunity to access
information. In particular, Barbara story.
This opportunity to gain insight to a person’s
experience with memory loss is motivation for the project.
Business Card
The business card arrangements
are underway with my fellow student colleague. After the holiday week and the
London trip we will have a meeting to discuss ideas.
Studio Practice 2 - Development
Inspired by cobweb felting Sample led to development with photography.
SWOT - Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats
Feelings
Layers of textiles with cobweb
felt. Decipher the photograph story in the context of memory loss. Cobwebs of memory loss concelled a sense of
place and self.
Visual photography
creates a visual story familiar to the viewer.
A viewer connects between similar family photographs.
I will continue with developlopment as a
possible project solution.

Development - Photomontage
Feelings
A unique story with universal themes of
memory and identity. Ghosts of memories
lost catch in photographic images.
Evaluation
The A3 sized photographic image will
isolate the image will be a metaphor for the isolation of memory loss. The focus of the negative space filled with
ghost images will be the celebration of catching those lost memories.
Analysis
The photomontage creates the confusion of
memory loss to give an insight to carers and our society. The focus of the negative space with layers
of smaller photographic imagery catching a memory is a celebration of
communication. The communication of a
memory brings their sense of self and place to the person with memory loss and as
an individual identity. The positivity
of communication will help with the care of the person with memory loss. By seeing a person we can communicate with we
can have open discussion about memory loss.
