Brain Splurge

Just had a really good tutorial which gave me a lot of ideas so please enjoy them (sorry they're messy):


Presentation:

• Specific Is GOOD
• Analytical is good, I do this naturally
• theme: order in chaos, narrative, productivity
• representing my practise and how I've become increasingly wrapped up in it through the course of the year, but told through my OCD and the way I interact with the space around me
• writing/blogging: I write more when I have things to figure out, quieten my brain
• REPETITION, TICKS, GETTING THINGS TO STICK IN MY HEAD
• when I'm creating and wrapped up in it it almost becomes an outlet or a place to put my OCD, obviously it doesn't sure it but it quiets it
• Life= keeping up appearances, inside and out, work, life, mental and physical health
• Rituals can help me quiet a noisy mind, help me sleep, but do they help me focus?
• talking points:
• Digital work: development, has a linear process but also unpredictable to me, chaos but in a good way
• Feminism: important in the grand scheme of the world,but also has helped me to be empowered and realise both my mental and physical strengths
• music, fiction books: takes me out of myself, it takes me out of myself, not that I don't like being with myself, I'm with myself a lot, but just like being with a good friend too much it can get stressful. Being in my brain is a stressful place to be.
• Pod casts, media: thinking tools, I enjoy thinking about things and trying to understand them more as well as use them to help understand myself more
• Visiting lecturers: Krystina and Louise- process and order to their practise, logic which made them successful as well as grafting. Nice to out a formula to it? Also nice that they apply their Illustrations to a product- makes sense to me- function

Sidenote: The presentation list I have basically come to realise will make up most of the script for during my actual presentation, those are most of the points I want to make I just have to put them in order

Poster:

• My brain is busy, shouldn't I present this in my work?
• world building, escapism
• escape means less worries
• village, or maybe staircase? obstacles things with a narrative easier to understand and unpack, linear

The main point from this: 

it takes me out of myself, not that I don't like being with myself, I'm with myself a lot, but just like being with a good friend too much it can get stressful, its good to have a little break. Being in my brain is a stressful place to be.
