The past and the self, psychoanalysis, Freud, Jung ….….…photography, truth, Barthes….. • Childhood and motherhood – where has this been a concern? – within painting, within psychoanalysis, within photography, within advertising - within sociology, within femininist writing on identity • Aim to integrate studio interests and motivation with the approaches and content that interest you most

  4. Potential research topics • Aim to ‘map’ potential areas of interest through your reading and place a ‘magnifying glass’ on one or two • To do this effectively you will need to have begun your research by sourcing texts and materials relevant to your developing interests and themes • Research is ‘open’; it is hunches and clues. Gather evidence, follow your interests. Can you explore what you have through your Notebook?

  5. What does a comparison of artistic and scientific process offer the contemporary printmaker? What is the relationship between war photography and truth and how has it changed in the twentieth century: a study of four key photographers? What would femininity be if women’s consciousness were released? What is the impact of digital technology on contemporary textiles; a study of 3 key designers?
