Projects 13 and 14: Review and next steps
Review of projects 13 and 14Projects 13 and 14 have been as much about curation than creation in that it triggered me into looking at many photographs of myself and also adapting lots to new ends. So I would categorise … Continue reading
Project 14: The body and another approach – collage
In some of my earlier posts on this project I noted how some images would only work in conjunction with others and so have tried to explore that here. I have chosen to create both a faux documentary collage in … Continue reading
Project 14: a narrower focus – reductionism
Rather than attempt to include my body in the body of work I am creating I could focus down onto aspects of it that relate to my experience as a disabled person. Such an approach would amplify the sense of … Continue reading
Project 14: a different direction: impairment and reductionism
Wounded: The Legacy of War (Adams, 2013) is a 300 page book that offers portraits British soldiers who have been injured that I wanted to explore because I think it’s pertinent to my work. Adams takes the viewer through the … Continue reading

Project 13: More on managed identities: contemporary representations of disabled people
Again, I feel I am getting stuck with this project focused on the body and find myself looking at others work rather than creating my own. There are lots of interesting approaches to explore and here John McCafferty focussed on … Continue reading
Project 14: Back to the body: constructed identities
My colleagues’ suggestions about exploring an alter ego are still rings in my ears, and although this post fails to address that it does look at something similar: constructed identities. I had looked at film representations of paralysis for my … Continue reading
Project 13: The manipulated identity
A couple of colleagues have made that suggestions that I create some alter ego images and I’ve taken that suggestion and explored a managed identity which is a type of alter ego I suppose. Below are images previously created by … Continue reading
