Dr Jane Turner Tutorial on Embodiment

I was very interested in discussing the ideas of embodiment in relation to my work and how my ideas wree developing in terms of whether or not the idea of my dress should be a container for the archive, or if I should perhaps film myself in the dress or via still photographs.

We discussed the following ideas:

Concatentation - this refers to a series of events or things which can create a link or chain of events. This perhaps would be an idea to develop in relation to the actual physical creation of the garment, weaving the fabric and/or threads.

Derrida's Ideas in particular the notion of absence and presence. You can only understand the absence through the presence of something, eg, item/object/garment/photograph
