Yet again, I found myself coming to a sort of brick wall with regards to the 'To Sense my Space' project. True, during the progress reviews a month ago my tutors were happy with my idea development. But basing my project on caves and shanty towns has come a bit detached from the project idea. Sure they depict a space but is it 'my space'? Not really.
I started to brainstorm again last week. Instead though of starting completely again ( I didn't fancy going back completely to where I was in December!) I wanted to keep my new idea in tune with my exploration of geographical, physical and personal space.
In the end I came up with something that I quite obviously should have done from the beginning. I thought about a place that is important to me, that i could connect with and explore. This place is the Titahi Bay Beach in New Zealand, where i lived for the first six and a half years of my life. It is a space which always have an always will be part of me. It is a place that holds just as much importance to me as my home in Waterford. At the moment I'm thinking of so many possibilities, but I must work quick!!!
