I find the curating of the blog to be a rewarding process – I can identify all the ideas I’ve had, and things I was going to do, and which have been left by the wayside as I’ve gone off in another direction. I’m collecting up all the stragglers, and here they are:

• The idea of the unfillable hole – Will the Real Alex Schady; 22 & 29/4
• Try working small to avoid detail – To the Manor Born
• Go back to my grandmother’s village – Raita Bitless; Wondering About Wandering
• Finish transcribing the messages that were left on the red telephone and think about how I might incorporate them into my work
• Prepare a blog about Tate Modern visit over summer
• Umbilical chords – Sisters
• Microchimerism – The Invasive Sibling
• River metaphor – In a State of Flux
• Amend Motherhood I and reprocess as a toned cyanotype – what about Motherhood II?
• Methods of image transfer

I’ve been thinking about whether I should amend my Study Statement. I don’t think I will. My objective is to find my artistic voice. I am still doing that – I will find it in the process of making. Some of the elements of the statement, such as the specified topic areas and work plan aren’t really relevant anymore, as I have gone off piste, preferring the freedom. That has happened because of who I am becoming, not because the Statement is no longer relevant or needs redirecting.
