TALK WITH PAUL

I was feeling a bit uneasy about where I currently am in my work and what I want to spend the last month doing. My plan was to create a small series of books combining the work I have so far as a concluding of what I've been doing and then go on to make images of the bournemouth I enjoy to again make into a small book or series of images. I had a chat with Paul and he liked the idea of the small books but said it was important to group things accordingly. For example I showed him the grouping for my website and he said it didn't work grouping things by media and instead to group by theme. I've therefore decided to group by interior and exterior. I think this pretty much sums up what I've been doing and splits the work nicely. He also said that as for taking the work further it could be interesting to focus on the juxtaposition of combining my digital style with the brutalist sketchbook style, and translate this to imagery on Bournemouth. Look at why people come to Bournemouth, but why I like Bournemouth. He also suggested I watch Jonathan Meade's Brutalism  programme on B.O.B. It's in 2 parts. I've watched the first part but I'm not sure how relevant it is to me anymore. I did like some of the descriptions of Brutalism though such as 'concrete monstrosity' and 'practical utopia'.
