How to incorporate a quote in my own writing

Simon Morley says ‘The sublime experience is fundamentally transformative, about the relationship between disorder and order, and the disruption of the stable coordinates of time and space.” (Morley 2010:12)

STATEMENT OF INTENT

My personal investigation will look to explore abstraction as a medium while exploring the labour forced by the Germans.

I am looking to practice abstraction via subject and lighting manipulation as opposed to camera/ editing tricks. I am looking to photograph the sea wall and establishing shots of the surrounds as well as forming sculpture from similar aggregates used in the sea wall in order to explore the forced labour used to construct the German defensive structures in Jersey.

Overview of PErsonal investigation

Intro

For my project, I have decided to focus upon the story of my grandfather and his time serving in the Royal Air Force. I have found a set of photographs from my grandfathers deployment to RAF Habbaniya Air base in Iraq in 1951 as a munitions officer. I have chosen to replicate the photographs taken of him and re-enact them myself as a form of self identity as my grandfather was one of my biggest influences in life. The original images range from images of him in scenes of leisure to him in uniform operating machinery such as munitions lorries etc.

Original Images

Below are the original pre-edit images of my grandfather taken in Iraq. The images are yellowed with age so I am looking to convert them to black and white for usage in my project to give them a rejuvenated look and feel.

This is an image of my Grandfather sat on a canon in Civilian attire
My grandfather in uniform next to a large danger sign. Due to the nature of my grandfathers job, there was a constant risk of danger handling live explosives and ammunition
My Grandfather relaxing next to the open air swimming pool at the RAF base. Coming from Jersey, the climate in Iraq was evidently very different in comparison to what my Grandfather was used to
Here is another image of my Grandfather in civilian attire, this time sat atop what appears to be some sort of water tank/ fountain

My responses

Despite not being in the Air Force myself or being based in Iraq, I have attempted to recreate these images as best as I can using locations and environments available to me in Jersey, focusing primarily on the poses and body positioning of my Grandfather as well as backdrop. For example in the below image, My grandfather is stood in front of a shack with a low roof. I decided to find a similar building and photograph myself in a similar pose to my Grandfather as shown below.

While my recreated version of the above image features the roof slanting the opposite way to the image with my grandfather, I find that rather than flip the image so that my image matches the one of my grandfather in terms of composition, I shall keep my recreated image as it is due to the fact that both images will be opposite each other, essentially creating a mirror image as such as detailed in the image below

Academic Sourcing:

A bibliography must be included within an essay that includes quotes from artists, in order to reference the books from which the quotes are originally taken from, and to allow readers of the essay to 1) validate the quote using the original text and 2) find out more about an artist/quote that they like. The bibliography is found at the end of an academic essay and contains the detail of every book, website, video and source of quotes used in the essay. The Harvard system of referencing is commonly used to reference source material, and the details are ordered as follows:

Surname, first initial. (year of publication). Title of book, place of publication: Publishing company.

for example, in order to reference from the book Camera Lucida, the following reference would be used:

Bibliography: Barthes, R. (1993), Camera Lucida. London: Vintage Books

During the essay, when a quote is used, the page number of the book is referenced after the quote itself, in order for the reader to distinguish between different volumes of the same book, and to allow them to quickly flip to the exact page of the original source containing the exact quote. This is done as following:

‘Hence I could not accede to that notion which is so convenient when we want to talk history, culture, aesthetics – that notion known as an artists style.‘ (Barthes 1993; 18)

The Harvard system of referencing is universal in the academic world, and is the most popular method for referencing original source material in essays.
