Experimentation through Writing

Throughout this course, I've found that writing my thoughts and ideas in a semi-poetical form has helped me elaborate my artistic ideas in more experimental ways. Whilst watching back the footage and listening to the conversation had with the artist a few days ago, I began writing about the main theme that kept coming up from watching her mark and cut pieces of fabric: the boundaries that construct and re-negotiate identity, and the 'inbetweenness' that pervades both Cyprus, in its political and geographic position, and its "post-colonial" (or better, neo-colonial) identity.

Below is a series of writings and a mindmap I did, which helped me create the visual piece that was reflective of these ideas.
