>> Continuing the chain?

It seems to me your "pathways" map out the process of ideas, with elements of note taking, documentation and experimentation. I really like how it is a physical thing that represents our collaboration/exploration. Interested in this idea, I wanted to make something mirrored this, but represented the majority of my practice throughout this residency, in the virtual. The complete opposite state of being to the physicality of your images. I began experimenting with linking my imagery (or truths) together - breaking out of the confines of the Instagram image box - and linking with others. This led me to create this (below); a series of 3 images which when viewed on instagram link together. 
Wanting to create almost a kind of summary that brings together all my explorations throughout the last two weeks I layered my "instagrammable truths" collages with other found imagery and materials. Sort of mapping out my pathway through the last two weeks, with the background and the framework of the chain running behind it. 

I feel the last two weeks have been a really positive experience, and I have enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate and discuss ideas with another artist. It has definitely taught me to "get out of my head" and just experiment to uncover new processes. It has also taught me a lot about my own practice and particularly how it is markedly different, but also very similar to yours James. I hope the conversations will continue past the confines of the residency and I look forward to meeting the person behind the words/images at the symposium! 

I will leave you with the culminative "chain" of the last two weeks.
