This is my first post, guess I have to start somewhere! I have been avoiding this for nearly a year, get a bit nervous about writing, an empty page can be scary. I have been making notes in my journal and thinking a lot about my research topic, which has evolved a lot since I first enrolled in the diploma. I will start by adding in images from my journal of my thoughts from the beginning of the year to my more refined ideas that I journaled the other day.
Basically my research has centred around some found rocks from a nearby estuary at Penna (South East Tasmania). I have been using these rocks in my artwork over 2013, in printmaking and photography, but not in stitch. I have done some screen printing onto fabric but that is as far as I got. I am also interested in the area where I found the rocks, the coastline and local vegetation. There are also some nearby rock formations and cliffs that form part of the bay. I am also interested in the history of the rocks and their geology which I hope will also play a part during the course.
Originally my topic was broader and included the entire Derwent River and its' estuaries as I thought it better to have a broader focus, but Sian thought a tighter focus would be more useful. The name I have given my blog is the Aboriginal name for the Derwent River which I thought was apt when I first set up the blog at the beginning of my research.
