Here I have explored certain ideas that relate to the theme of identity, touching on subjects that I found interesting whilst studying the topic of Identity and Community in year 12 and 13. This allowed me to list any sub-topics I could go into within these categories and enabled me to think of ways I could link this to my personal identity. I am particularly interested in developing my knowledge of my family background through photography and collage. With this the subject of lineage or family would work best as it would allow me to explore some elements of childhood and regional backgrounds within it.
This mood board I have compiled includes photographs that relate to the four subjects stated in my mind map, with quite a few using multiple mediums to create one image, something I would like to experiment with and incorporate within my own work. The images I found especially interesting from researching these types of photography, were created by artist Clarissa Sligh who creates collages from her old family photographs to reshape the past in one of her projects, similarly to Carole Benitah.
Olivia, begin to formulate your statement of intent and publish it. I will have a 1-2-1 conversation with you later to help support your idea
