New Brief

Started our new brief entitled 'Home and Displacement'.  This is a very thought provoking subject as it affects so many people in different ways.  After some thought on the subject, I decided to do an installation based on the lives and the evacuation in1930 of the last 36 inhabitants of St Kilda.  Moving away from home even for a short time can be very traumatic but for the St Kildans it was much worse as they would never be able to return.  I'm doing a participant observation excercise this week.  I am looking at the 'school run' and collecting information regarding the amount of cars, occupancy, arrival/departure times etc.  Took pictures on the way to college to-day for Johns' brief ' My Journey to College'.  Just traffic and roadworks, not exciting.  We are doing an origami workshop to-morrow, should be interesting.
