This
project will be managed in three parts:
1) RESEARCH OF MATERIALS & KNOWLEDGE
Analyse current information while continuing to look into various
other forms of information, such as relevant texts, artists’
works, Web sites, reviews, etc. (ie this document).
2)
IDEAS GENERATION
From the collated information, ideas will be generated from
a range of contrasting concepts, thus providing a quantity of
possible starting points for a successful final piece.
3)
REALISATION
After careful consideration of the ideas, one - or perhaps a
series - will be selected to develop. A final piece will be
made, but it will be desirable that this work will also act
as a springboard to launch future projects.
