In the last tutorial with Jane we discussed narrowing my research area, because of time constraints. The restrictive nature of this project- in the short time allowed, and therefore my inability to be THOROUGH- frustrates and confuses me. However, I have decided that contrary to Jane's suggestions, which I initially understood and considered, I do not wish to focus my energies on a specific story/myth. The difficulty that I've been having to this point is establishing the boundary between illustration-interpretation in this particular context, and I feel that focusing so singularly on one option would only further confuse and restrict me. The particular story of interest that I initially considered, following Jane's suggestion, was about the danger of viewing the new moon through glass. This fascinates me because it is a comment on the power of the moon, as a grand symbol, a God, a parent. I understand that this is what I need to explore. Broader than a single story, narrower than EVERYTHING.

Studio update 24/02/2012
Exploring the moon as a symbol that commands respect and obeisance- my piece will take the form of a wall based montage measuring approx 1m wide. It will be held up with Blu-Tac, masking tape, drawing pins. Ephemera. Transitory. No-fi.
