I could understand the benefits offered by engaging with a reflective blog, collating my ideas, inspirations and work in progress in one place and documenting my stream of thought as I progressed through my project.

I had never previously considered that these graphic patterns were based on handmade textiles. I'm now eager to explore the visual link between these patterns and the reeds and hay which were used to create
The final output of my practice will be an animated film which will be shaped by the research I have gathered.
