After the latest tutorial I got some great suggestions from people contributing. Someone suggested I 'get lost', not in a bad way, but that maybe go to an area I didn't know and try and find my way around whilst recording it. It was suggested that it was all at this present time a bit confused and that I shouldn't try and shoehorn things into a final result, although intensive work was also needed. I hit on the idea that I could invite people I know, as interviewing the public extensively can have issues, and ask them to draw a map of my area from memory after walking around the place. I would also have a record of their movements and the places they are attracted to. After a couple of suggestions of filming things in recent tutorials I thought that this could really be an interesting record along with accompanying graphics. I wanted to screen print and photograph some found objects, as I think this is a very expressive medium and the facilities are there. I would need to organise the graphics to make sense, and I thought overlaying the drawings onto each other to investigate similarities between people would be appropriate. Also found objects could symbolise the participants' memory process and movements, e.g. landmarks, symbols, green spaces, tracks etc. I would need to research printing to help shape the graphics.
