Primary Reseasrch - Actaully making something...
I started with the 'body shape' to explore part of your natural identity. (I decided natural identity rather than identity in general because if i started exploring clothes or other material things then it would add even more complication)
I needed to find a direct and quick way to record the body so i asked people to lay on the floor while i drew round them...
It was a strange experience but i liked the way they turned out.
I decided to put them on my wall next to each other.
When i stood back it struck me how it seemed to show the similarities of the human form as well as the differences. It was kind of saying we're all human even if we are different shapes and sizes. Im starting to think this is what identity is all about...difference?
I liked the look drawings as well as the concept so left them up.
Here's a photo....
Not sure if its going to help my project yet but here's an interesting link about body lanuage

Primary Research - Mind Map
• Talked to Paul about making conceptual ideas into visual work…need to start experimenting.
• Finished and move mind map on – needed to figure out how to translate it into a visual language.
• Made a list of main ideas as well as 'what makes up identity' from the mind map and tried to think of how I could actually see it in some work. Here is the actual mind map, click it for a closer look.
• I decided the list (with a bit of work) should be the bases of my primary research and I should get this done before I look for other influences. Here's the list....
