Ok so at this point it was after christmas I was getting feedback from my assessments which went well thankfully but I was told I should get more tutorials from other tutors-fine. But this became a kind of a problem because the more tutorials I got the more different ideas I had to work with and the more confused I got about what i was doing and where I was going with it all. One of the ideas I was working with were, from Mike (one of my tutors), to look into language and cultural issues and we started discussing county borders which I was already starting to look into. I talked about a conversation I had with my dad about where the kilkenny border ends and waterford begins which is actually very close to waterford city. Anyway we talked about doing a sound piece based on these kind of converastions and peoples feelings about where they live and their bordering county. One idea. Next I was speaking to Roisin, the drawing tutor, she suggested I explore the idea of the wire maps a bit more in maybe a different medium such as aseotate and marker which would be quick and easy as she felt that it wasn't easy to tell they were countries. She suggested to look a bit more at rivers and mountains which can sometimes be the outline of a border. After that I had a group crit where we spoke about the photos of the canteen and making it into a video, about maybe colour coding groups and about reserching tribes- associated values, power struggles, violence and collective mentalities. So it all got a bit confusing..the problem was that I loved all the ideas and suggestions mostly so I tried to take them all on and got into a bit of a muddle which I still feel like I haven't dragged myself out of yet.
