POSSIBLE, PLAUSIBLE, PROBABLE

For TMA1433 PROFFESIONAL ART AND COMMUNICATION we had a lecture around possible plausible and probable, although this module is separate from TMA1431-CREATIVE STUDIO what I inter-rotated from this lecture very much links to creative studio.

The lecture had me thinking into another avenue to explore as a part of my project. As audience, personas and target audience art something I aim my work towards, not to mention is not something I have thought about before. I don't necessary want to target my work to a specific audience due to the documentary real life nature to my practice. I began to think about using personas as different personas of my Father. Them personas being the picture that was painted when I was growing up. Being told my dad didn't want me and left therefore having me believe he wha selfish, nasty and not someone I would ever want to develop a relationship with. The second persona was my own fantasy of what he was really like as everyone has their own opinion of people. Could he be kind? did he want me ? could we have a relationship? are we similar? all these questions created a persona I wanted my dad to be. The third persona is him in reality what I learned about him as a person and who he is.

I would like explore this different persona idea within my practice as I found out that my fantasy of my father and reality aren't far apart. I think if I focus on theses as a strategy to photograph I can build a better visual story of why I didn't know my father and how I live with him now. I will use archives and my own photographs to explore this.

After recently starting my own illustrations of images in colour form, I wanted to put this new skill to use by using archives and taking the person out filling it with a blank outline representing my empty knowledge and feeling towards theses images that to many other would be precious.

Figure 1 Figure 2

Figure 1 is a piece of work found on Pinterest from searching loss and photography, Figure 2 is an archive (the only archive) I had when I was going up given to me by my mother. The archive is my farther (cut out in white) my brother (cut out in grey) and me. The date on the back is October 97 witch is the month and year I was born so am not even a month old here. Clearly with no memory but its the only physical evidence of my dad being with me. This photograph was treasured as I had no other yet it was a reminder what I did not know this man and who he was he just had the title father. The cut out and filled with white shows the black emotion and idea I had of my father looking at the photograph as a child.

Figure 3

The second half of the sessions was about the probable, plausible and possibility of out project, this diagram allowed me to picture many scenarios of my project and put down into a plan what I wanted from the project as a preferable outcome. Following this chart I was easily able to think of different route I can also explore within my project. This came at a very useful time after struggling with creative block and becoming lost with my project.
