Thoughts on theoretical research

Hey all, 

So I'm writing an essay which is essentially testing out all my ideas and thoughts for my thesis. Which means research time! I absolutely adore theoretical research I honestly do... when I start it. I manage to constantly put off beginning of this process and i'm unsure as to why. Once I begin I can't get enough especially when I have found my key points but it's proving extremely difficult. I wonder if it is because I work well under pressure, or like the idea of a tight time frame. I am usually very prepared and motivated but just can't seem to find my reading mojo. I've got just 2 and a half weeks and I'm not worried.

Although I have just had a thought. I have been researching the same topic all year. Could it be that I need something fresh to spark my interest? A new angle? A new source? Some new questions? I think that is a possibility. I'll keep you posted on how I go.  

Mini Break

Hey hey hey, so here we are. I have taken two weeks off from writing my blog to just let things percolate a little and see were I end up. With regards to my practical work I received some feedback, I noted it down so here it is...


The space was good.
People were unsure if they were allowed to enter the space or not.
People wanted more hair (maybe outside of the balls).
The abject feeling was easy to deal with because the hair was enclosed and almost beautified.
It had a clinical, clean and safe feeling.
It also had a sense of fragility.
People wanted to go through the dividing door.
It felt like a forest of hair (referring back to scenery in the video)
The film felt confused, there were too many concepts (hair-ography, movement of hair, slow motion, reverse effects).
Strongest moments of the film were the reverse thrashing and when there were two of me thrashing.




Things & questions I am currently working on.


How do the two rooms relate? 
Do they need to relate?
Do I need both types of room?
How do I make this piece more abject?
Who am I in the film? 
Why am I in the woods, in jeans and trainers? 
Should I use other people's hair collected from hair dressers?
How do I make this piece a journey through various stages of abjection?


Oh! New one, how do I keep this project from screaming about feminism?

Dead Ringer Ringlets - Film

After taking a week off to reflect on my work and to relax i have finally uploaded the film section of the Dead Ringer Ringlets installation. Here it is...

Any comments or feedback would be fantastic as I am currently in the process of developing this piece.
