– Chose HOME (and Home Making) as my topic, with a view to use material from Methods of Translating to create a visual essay
– Defining home – safety, warmth, familiarity
– Struggled with being objective, looked at various permutations with myself and my father compared, census data from our lifetimes, themes of fatherhood and male role models, mental health etc. Encouraged by tutor but unable to give this critical context
– Final experiments looked at statements about Dad combined with video and photography, and situating location-specific census data alongside family photography of that location.
– Other group members’ work included great work, standout examples were Cicely’s Kings Cross project and also a dinner plate/gathering concept from some year 2 students
