Call 2: A Publication - First thoughts

Proposal due in three days, finished piece due in 10. Something simple. Something that comes easily and makes sense. Part of my practice. Natural.
I also don't  have the studio to use at the moment because of first year assessments. Bedroom art. t

Currently in my studio practice I am creating a book - or a collection of pages - of titled illustrative drawings, each one describing a thought or theme that contributes to the wider motifs of my art practice. This book will exist as a sourcebook, or a list of ingredients - each one existing seperately as I search for a way to bring them all together in my art. At this point, I feel that this project is in a way dissecting and crystalising elements of my practice and areas of explaration that I have not allowed myself to acknowledge individually.

Reproducing one of these illustrations as a single page in a book of other artists' works allows me to share a single, isolated element of my practice; examine it as it stands alone.

This is very different to the majority of my practice; this book provides a platform to 'test the ground', and see how I can actualise these thoughts.
