I have been exploring the notion of unreadable bodies of text. Texts that have been written by me and adapted beyond the conventional page or writing. I want to blur the boundaries between reading and seeing. I need to perfect the material outcomes of my work so that they move beyond the experimental stage of development. I want to make more tangible art objects that stand alone. I want to explore both the written and the spoken word, and how these can be appropriated to appear to make sense when in reality they don’t. I want to look into languages and translation, and look at the space between languages where meanings are lost or warped. I am also interested in the science of seeing/reading. How do our brains allow us to understand language? And what happens when we encounter something unreadable or that we don’t understand? I want to uncover the ‘coding’ behind the brain’s understanding of language, and perhaps imitate this through my work. I am interested in how the brain can be visualised through scans and tests. I would like to look further into how this works and gain a better scientific understanding. I want to have a better understanding of digital technology; specifically editing software so that I can use it to make more refined digital developments to my work. This might also help me venture more into film making. The theme of mapping keeps coming back into my practice. I wonder if I just need to approach ‘mapping’ from a different angle to realise my potential to carry it forward. I want to make more prints. More refined prints. Large-scale, lots of layers. Refined.
