I’m currently studying Textile Crafts at the University of Huddersfield UK. I am in my third year of practice. I specialise in Print this involves some of the following; Screen printing Laser Cutting Designing prints directed at illustration, advertising and fashion. Drawing plays a big part in the end result. i think keeping a diary of my traces of thought and decisons is very important for me to look back on, and for other people to gain an insight. Enjoy :)

19.10.09 MONOGRAPH NOTES

ROBERT CLARKE (WEEK 4)

psychogeography- is a semi-occult art and a way to learn more about the world you live in.
Robert brought this up in the lecture and gave us many websites to look at, quite a few of the printers are also looking into this topic of the city, urban environment and its quite interesting to see how they approach this topic differently to me.

Observing and being Observed.
It fits into my subject area, im observing the city, taking photos drawing, printing and looking at how signs in the city can influence people.
  • Social semiotics - George Orwell. Signs and signals
  • shaping and changing the city
  • posters stimulated by what we see
  • imaginarymuseum/archieve.org
  • language and film
  • guide books, maps, imaginary city
