In a nutshell, the objective of this module was to learn a variety of new art processes. I decided to start with pinhole photography, because I had loved learning it many years ago and wanted to find out whether the unusual perspective and unexpected visual effects in these experimental photographs would help me to make my paintings more interesting if I used them as reference material. Sometimes, an art process leads to completely different outcomes to those one might have envisaged; so finding that my pinhole portraits looked more intriguing than pinhole landscapes, I presented my final work as an installation in which narrative text played as much of a key role as the images!

I used Adobe InDesign to create an authentic looking newspaper article, and wallpapered the studio wall to make it look like a pub with memorabilia displayed in frames.
