Research Project

I have long been looking at work through collage and have still been hitting a road block in which how I would like to begin my project. I have stumbled across some interesting research and have not gotten to the two 100 page medical resources I have printed out sitting by my bed waiting, more like begging, to be read.

I have several thoughts. Over the course of this past year I have kept all of my medical printouts along with my receipts. I saw a show about a year ago that had long strips of paper hanging down from the ceiling creating this beautiful curve. I also thought about doing this with my medical reports. What does everyone think?

Or collage? Cutting out letters to form a poem on an interesting background? I am not the best at poetry but the medications and procedures I have gone through are quite poetic if you look and inspect them.

Let me know thoughts! See you in class!

    I think an artist book using images and receipts and journal entries and medical journal reports intermixed could be powerful...
    You could use collage in it but with a book it still feels very personal and this seems like a personal exploration.
    If you feel like it is more about educating people about this issue than a larger collage/installation may be more powerful.
    Good luck!

    I really enjoyed speaking with you last night about your project, Natasha. I agree with Wendy...I think a larger collage/installation could have an amazing impact on people. Can't wait to see what you do with your project--whatever you decide I'm sure it will be great. ; ) Amie
