Having been given this word ‘data’ as a starting point
before Christmas, in groups of 6 we were to mind map out our ideas; such as
what we thought the brief meant and how we were to interpret it. First doing
this as a group and then we were to use these collective ideas as a starting
point to our own discoveries. I found that through playing around with a few
ideas, I really liked the randomness and uncontrollability of different
coloured inks when blown with a straw.
I found the brief to start with quite confusing as it is a
broad topic and can include a multitude of different ideas. However, I felt
that I really found my own after thinking about different things related to
this idea of ‘data’ and focusing on what my thoughts were on this; as well as experimenting with different media.
Initially I had been looking to work with the idea of maps
and mapping, which would have carried on quite nicely from the two weeks of
work we did before the Christmas holidays. However, after starting with this
idea I found myself drawn to using ink as my primary source of media, in the
hope of possibly returning to the use of maps further along in the project.
Below you can see some of the work I have started on in
relation to the brief:
Black Windsor & Newton ink blown with straw onto A4 cartridge paper
Blue Parker ink blown with straw onto A3 cartridge paper
