Considering what a change of metaphor from ‘a common thread’ to ‘cut from the same cloth’ implies for a design which depicts all the linked biblical artefacts I have been researching. Also thinking about how their scriptural counterparts were written down/linking projection 2 back to my manuscript exploration of projection 1, I consider drawing in…

With my enquiry refined from a visual exploration of encoding and decoding to a curiosity specifically about biblical historicity and the textile translation of text and artefacts, I continue the technical work of graphically communicating and designing through the craft to explore the tapestry of biblical history. Translation progress: In continuing the textile translation of…

This enquiry is a visual exploration of biblical historicity through textiles. It started as an investigation into the encoding and decoding of ancient languages and the representation and transmission of knowledge in encrypted form(s). Initial iterative experiments included the encryption of the Baconian motto, ‘Knowledge is Power’ in letterpress and needlecraft, in Rosetta Stone-inspired triplets…

Circling back to looking at artefacts at the British Museum, and thinking about ways to create a new index of artefacts (with inspiration from Societies 2: Indexing collective materials from the BT Archive tour) alongside a wider look at graphic communication design through artefacts across time. I had been looking particularly at text last term,…

Drafting ‘solar systems’ about our practice.

The presentation of my project in the form of a public blogpost was a helpful as it helped me to focus on conveying my exploration in a clear and concise manner. The restrictive word count was useful as the limit forced succinctness, as was the limit on the number of images in helping to distil…

“Experimental Approaches and Creative Practices at the City Scale”. Working with MA Cities students to imagine experimental and creative ways to address the UK’s sewage in waterways issue. This re-imagination included world-hinting and individual and collective ideation processes.

Presentation by Esther McManus on ‘Reading and Representing Archival Research’. I was particularly drawn to this slide/project about ‘Old Things’ and its related page on her website: I am iterating through thoughts about ‘panels’ of visual communication in forms other than paper comics, such as textiles. I think it’s interesting to think about “temporal imprecision”…

From the BT Archive tour last term, I chose these letters (from the public for the improvement/’naturalisation’ of telegraph poles) to contribute to the group for indexing: This electric circuit diagram is a way of indexing the BT Archive in a way that echoes the development of telecommunications. Typically in circuit diagrams, a circle with…
