After having a couple of weeks off, I was looking forward to today as we could see what everyone had done over the holidays. It was nice to see members of the group again as I got to know some people a lot more and had a laugh. Nevertheless, overall, I was pretty disappointed with the day. Only four of us turned up and it didn't feel like the day had a structure, so we ended up having to wait around a lot. Don't get me wrong, it was good that we could chat about our ideas with each other and the tutor, but I don't find the Hilton house inspirational at all.
It sounds like I'm being really negative, but, like I said, the discussion with each other and the tutor was really helpful. Eleanor (the fashion tutor) was really nice and full of ideas, so as we got talking, ideas started to flow. Here are some of the ideas we had:
-Distorting an image 175 times, cutting it up into 175
pieces, or 175 pixels.
- Looking at the chemistry between a couple.
- Woven images, mixing facial expressions or two faces into one.
- Obscuring and removing the face, covering up areas of the face hiding away sections.
- Cutting away the face or the expressions and replacing it with other imagery such as chemical photography, street art, chemistry as a science.
- Print, using chemistry as a print idea to obscure an area.
- Projecting prints onto a face, like a mask.
- Burka's, how they are covered and only there eyes are visible, what if they were covered with a translucent material? It defeats the whole idea; is the message distorted?
After lunch we were told to produce a poster to display our ideas for the project. We tried to weave images of two faces together. It worked well, but on the poster it looked a bit childish. I found it a waste of time making a poster when we still need to do more drawings etc.

It's good that each group has their own space now as we can keep our things there and out everything up so we can see what's working and what's not. I just wish we had more facilities in the Hilton house!
