New Beginnings

As the title suggests, there has been a change with the project, not dramatic, but big.

Yesterday we had another tutorial, this time with one of last years tutors, Paul. I believe having new insights into one another's projects is always beneficial and this was such the case.

When attempting to explain where the project was heading and why, including why I had started to steer away from housing to shooting in the streets. It soon became evident that the only reason I had started to change me ideas was because of the fact that what I am trying to come across with in my project is not translating into book format.

Manipulating houses to signify this need to have more, to become better and to use as a status symbol is exactly what this project is about. For this to work, however, the book format will not be sufficient.

Coming out of this tutorial concluded my journey with the book project, and after much discussion with the group, the tutor and a member of the exhibition team - it was decided that to translate my project I will need to use the exhibition space.

This will give me a much more defined opportunity to express this work, and prevent any blockage with my work due to the confinements of a book.

I feel this change is vast, yes, but the opportunity will be greatly received, and I believe even though it is late in the process, it has been caught in time.

Further discussion has been addressed with both Greg and the exhibition team, who are happy to have me involved, not only due to the vast array of space, but because it is evident my working process fits in well with the work they are producing.
