Tutorial - March

This tutorial allowed me to explain my work so far and discuss my progress in terms of how the ideas are developing. I took with me some experiments on cotton and muslin of my images transfers and discussed how these could be subsequently used within the Praxis.

Also discussed was the Critical Essay which I had spent some time researching in relation to Derrida's wrtings on Deconstruction and how these could be a starting pint for the paper. After discussing this with Jane, I felt that I was perhaps getting too involved in these readings in terms of just how elusive this term was, and how Derrida himself struggled to create a specific definition for the term.

My interest in the deconstruction ideas tend to be centred around the practitioners using it as an exploration through the visual arts, for example, Margiela experiments with the notion in temrs of creating a series of garments which are left in the gallery space with different amounts of bacteria being introduced to the cloth and left to rot and disintegrate of a period of a week.
