INTENT/ TONE OF VOICE
My intent for my wider practice, developing across my final year and after graduation, will be a development of areas of interest and successes identified across the last 2 years of development.
Heritage and socio-historical knowledge has become key but this will continue to be applied through the following intentions:
- To channel a playful and mischievous tone of voice through comical character and type
- To apply a playful aesthetic to educational purposes and narratives
- To shed light light on social traditions and promote pride in heritage
THEMES/ SUBJECT MATTER
The general thematic purpose of my work will be to celebrate pride in fading industries and communities.

- Social history for children/ inclusive audience
- Inclusivity – accessible to community groups/ social class
- Tools to promote holistic identity and pride

- To continue to lead a research focussed practice

PRACTICAL CONTENT/ OUTCOMES
Content:
- Identify a fading tradition or social group and apply crafted processes to socio-historical research to establish a resurgence of identification and pride within local/ social or geographical tradition.
- Develop on practical projects from levels 4 and 5, considering a more research-led and contextually informed approach to British social tradition, such as morris dancing and brass bands, in line with my current and developing visual language.

Outcomes:
- Propose a community focussed exhibition for ‘The Mill Space’ exhibition space at Armley Industrial Museum
- Consider proposal and development of outcome for Sunny Bank Mills ‘Ones to Watch’ prize, applying relevant contextual concerns such as textiles heritage and weaving to relevant practical processes
- Funding complications may require a community engagement to receive approval so I could establish a workshop plan for a local school group to explore the notion of ‘pride’ > public engagement
