Exhibition

today at university i shall be exhibiting my research and work that i have done to date towards my personal project. i feel that an appropriate introduction to the form my research and work has taken needs to be communicated with external examiners, my lecturers and my regular blog readers who are going to be visiting today and tomorrow.

i would like to point out that my research has been submitted entirely through this blog. there are several reasons for this; 1) my initial plans for this blog is to enable an interactivity with my work from others that i would not have had otherwise, 2) i liked the idea of using entirely digital methods of recording my research and it fits in very well with the purpose of my personal project, 3) i feel the use is a good form of visual representation for my usual wordy muses in terms of chronicle and alphabetical organisation. the use of the blog for research will carry on throughout my continued research but i plan to use sketchbooks next semester to extend my research beyond the ephemeral and into the physical to examine what happens between each medium in a bid to continually test the relationship between digital and analogue.

alongside my blog, i have submitted a research paper which stems from the middle part of my dissertation. this has been presented printed and bound but can also be found as a link in the "fashion ma work so far" list to the right-hand side of this entry.

i hope that you enjoy looking through my research and paper today and i look forward to your feedback with great anticipation.

thank you,
