sketchbook

i began my project with looking at the lost rivers and where these rivers originate from, what part of manchester city do they run over and how long have these rivers been there for? i then decided to mark all these rivers on printed maps, while doing that i started to notice the the patterns created form the river journey through the city i then started to look into how maps created patterns in themselves from journeys people make to just the streets and the structure i then started to look into different types of maps and the patterns created in them. 

i felt that my visual documentation of my work is very clear and precise and explanations are accessible allowing the reader to understand my thought process, although i feel that more annotation could be added and smaller drawing to explain ideas more. 

here is clearly showing my interest in mark making and that the all pages are linked in well, i have made references to many different artists, Jackson Pollock, Candy Jeringham and many more making the contextual side of my work well linked in and clear that they are very much what inspire my sketchbook work.

clear linking of my work

 i feel i need to do much more broader research visiting more galleries that relate to my work.

i need to be able to filtre all my ideas and pick out the more important and successful points this would probably allow me to work at a faster pace and be able to experiment more.

I have alot of mixed ways of drawing, sewing, pencil, paint, maybe even mixing them all into one piece i feel that i able to show many different ways of 'drawing' and have been able to express myself freely when it comes to putting my ideas down and drawing them in many different mediums.

i find that the pattern in my work is a fluid process and most of my ideas lead greater exploration of my project, my sketchbook seems to have a smooth flow through out all of my work and ideas.

i had a slight problem at the beginning of the project as i need to pick up more speed but i felt that i have explored a wide variety of ideas that i feel i could still carry on in other projects to come.
