As part of re-planning my M.A. by registered project I was asked to ‘draw’ out my ideas. By chance I had already done it a few weeks ago as part of process of seeking ‘re-alignment’.<\/p>\n

The image is complex but for me the most interesting outcome was the realisation that the ‘four-leaf clover’ actually boiled down to two distinct and separate ‘pathways’ going in different directions but both could equally be followed and examined as an M.A.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PRACTICE AS RESEARCH?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first pathway is practice-led and focusses on drawing and painting as both studio-based and like most fine art PhD’s one that can interrogate itself during ‘process’. i.e. self-reflection on practice within M.A. and an analytical tool to examine the process of submitting for M.A from an institutional point of view. This amalgamates the ‘graphic research’ and ‘painting’ threads of my work in one. I will attempt to analyse the studio practice through cartoon diagrams and reflective analysis.<\/p>\n

Possible output: Paintings and drawings and conference presentations\/research papers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

‘MULTIMEDIA’<\/strong><\/p>\n

The word that has no meaning again applied to a very diverse range of ‘praxis’ that includes poetry, ed<\/a> film, photography, oral history, social intervention, music and sound.<\/p>\n

The mopping up of ‘everything else that I do’.<\/p>\n

Possible output: Book, Cd, exhibition, graphic design, ‘deep mapping’, live performance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What will win …..or maybe do both and make this the most disjointed M.A. ever?<\/p>\n

The four-leaf clover below now has two leaves….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

maybe should listen to Robert Frost<\/p>\n

The Road Not Taken<\/p>\n

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
\nAnd sorry I could not travel both
\nAnd be one traveler, long I stood
\nAnd looked down one as far as I could
\nTo where it bent in the undergrowth;<\/p>\n

Then took the other, as just as fair,
\nAnd having perhaps the better claim,
\nBecause it was grassy and wanted wear;
\nThough as for that the passing there
\nHad worn them really about the same,<\/p>\n

And both that morning equally lay
\nIn leaves no step had trodden black.
\nOh, I kept the first for another day!
\nYet knowing how way leads on to way,
\nI doubted if I should ever come back.<\/p>\n

I shall be telling this with a sigh
\nSomewhere ages and ages hence:
\nTwo roads diverged in a wood, and I\u2014
\nI took the one less traveled by,
\nAnd that has made all the difference<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
