Studio practice



 New idea 
 

For awhile I've liked the idea of the stories being shown in handwriting rather than typed, I explored this slightly with writing on the tiles but it wasn't quite right. When it comes to the publication i think maybe the text should be typed, they aren't all my stories so it shouldn't be my handwriting, it should be the persons whose story it is. Maybe I could ask for people who have responded to send me a photo of the story written in their handwriting and I could do something that way, but I still think typed could be the way to go aesthetically for the publication. 

However, I do still really like the idea of handwritten stories. I had this idea of writing over images of bathrooms. Again I feel like I can only physically write out stories which are mine, I do have their permission to use the stories but within myself I feel like I should only write mine, I'm connected to mine. I tried to replicate the visual I had in my brain of this idea, I did this digitally with adobe fresco, but it was done on my phone so its pretty difficult to write the text out on such a small screen, but we make do. I used a photo a took of one of the sinks at the castle, I turned down the opacity of the image. On another layer I wrote out one of my recent stories, then merged them. I went with a blue for the writing as I thought it could contrast the red of the bathroom well.  

I don't think this idea will be added to either the video or publication, I don't think it’s needed. I may do more and have them just as separate pieces of the same project. I do think maybe it would make more sense if the image was of my own bathroom but this works for a tester.
