Some work on my year long project as discussed with Niki in our Tuestorial. (It’s a tutorial on a Tuesday) Maybe some ideas for the future and the derision of MS WordArt.

Del Loewenthal is a psychologist who developed an approach to photography that categorises images into four distinct categories depending on who has the power in the relationship and who benefits from the production of the image.
As an individual task ahead of next week we were asked to construct our own Ethical Window…..
Today’s seminar was to discuss Ethics in Photography and how it impacts all of photography including the photographer, subjects, publishers and wider world.
We were split into groups of two and tasked with discussing what we thought about a number of questions.
After the normal Tuesday afternoon at Uni had been completed it was time to head to the Print Rooms to find out what we’d be doing tonight. The answer, Drypoint Etching Intaglio.
This week we visited our sketchbooks and understand how to produce a successful example. We also had a very personal experience with Alice sharing her practice for her Degree and Masters.
A day in January to go to Leeds for a Brutalist Architecture exhibition about University Campuses and then a jaunt around the impressive architecture that is Leeds Uni campus. Using Digital, Film and Drone cameras.
This week saw the second half of the Riso learning and a use of Gibbs’ reflective cycle to analyse how we got on with the Riso Printing sessions.
This week was packed, with some Research for year long project, reviewing our feedback from Semester 1, Riso Printing (next post) and a group crit that took up a long time but yielded some great information.
At the end of last year, Alice gave us a task to create an A3 size board containing references, text, quotes and examples of images that we were interested in related to our year-long project.
My year long project so far has been a proper mixed bag, some print destruction, some negative distressing, some architecture, some portraiture so I put three boards together using my computer and PowerPoint along with the graphics table so I could scrawl directly onto the digital page.
This first week back took a turn for the surreal in the Friday lecture on Surreal Narratives using Duane Michals to talk us through the important points.
The lat Tuesday before Christmas and with some colour printing complete I stood and had an informal chat with Niki that was very enlightening.
What about a nice little bit of Typography on a Friday afternoon then? Lovely stuff. Some of this really appeals to my super picky and pedantic nature..
Research is an important part of my degree course and it’s not something that comes easy to me. See how I get on looking into the work of Alma Haser.
This week is a review week of Semester One and all the work we’ve created up until this point. What do I need to improve upon, what can I do next to try different things? See what Alice and I talked about.
Night & Day in Tokyo and other cities around the world. My work led me to look at work by Liam Wong and Masataka Nakano who are both extraordinary photographers.
For this semester an Exhibition Review is required, here is my review of the excellent Chris Killip Retrospective in The Photographers Gallery London.
