Research, Notes & relevance:



Thoughts
It is ok to indulge in obsessions. 
  • A creative alternative looks at a subject close to the heart of my Editions passion project for this module.
  • Probably one of the most influential and inspiring pieces of work I have seen in a long time. The many links this movie has with my practice; how it gives an alternate look at a comparable subject matter - links closely with the recent subject matter I have been exploring in my work, shape and landscape, frame, composition - my practice, what excites me in my work  --- the list is endless!
  • Just the boost in inspiration I need and I'm really beginning to feel where this is all going..for this project AND potential future of my practice (for now )..Finally! 
  • Watch this documentary!
