This week has seen three separate Stories coming to fruition. Largely thanks to the amount of image gathering and video work I carried out in the summer. I was now finding that a lot of the visual gatherings I conducted, simply through filming and/or taking stills along the river, have paid off. Rosie’s Story became […]

A new contribution to the project was achieved this week from Fliss. This took a very different approach to the expected one I had, with Fliss recording her piece as she sat on the riverbank. I have been open to the opportunity for contributors to record their own stories but I did not expect this […]

After considering the developments around Sheena’s work and receiving additional interest in the project, I have spent this week considering how best to ensure Riparian links together coherently for an audience.

The message that I have sent out is as follows: Hi, I am a local Otterton resident currently doing my final main project for my Master’s Degree in photography.  The theme for my project […]

I have spent the last three weeks researching into more related practitioners to find a thread for my project. From previous modules, I […]

August has arrived already! While no physical production pieces have been completed, I have spent a fair amount of time along the river, working out different angles and considering how I can evolve my practice to fit in with the challenges of my FMP. I have also conducted further reading into achieving a better understanding […]

During the last few days, I have been considering at length my FMP direction, in terms of how to describe it to local people. In order to attract potential contributors, I recognise the need to have a concise, engaging and relevant approach. Such an approach means that I have to describe my project – its […]
