We do learn more if the process is synergistic, of that I no longer have doubts.


I am now wondering how I may harness this new found knowledge, within my practise working to impart feeling and information more successfully and then how to evidence that.

Does the residue that we are left with after we engage with an art work, need to be adjusted by the inclusion sion of a synergistic process to allow us to develop knowledge - for example if I include instructions will knowledge be an outcome?


Investigating my reliance on my own memory and knowledge, to allow me to understand the motifs and references in my work, is encouraging me to look for more motifs and images that I use regularly or that appear in my everyday. I am thinking that these additional images might be more universal or be used to speek directly to a particular target audience.

I have become very reliant on continual observation of a subject/object to be able to translate my visions into material or solid forms. With out these solid visual representations I cannot express my ideas or create pictures.


It is taking quite a few translations, edits, combinations and revisions etc to make universally visable and readable representations .


I need to make my adopted process simpler and quicker if it is to become more inclusive, maybe I need more hooks, like Cecily Brown or perspective points like Julie Mehretu. On the other hand I may find each work needs to be created independantly from the other and combined after completion to creat a type of key, though which my audience may decipher my main work, like a puzzle or a game.


Will my order of spawned satellite combis, create an equation, a language or a thing of curiosity that will explaine?
