With my idea of using imagery - specifically photography - to represent memory made me think about how I might represent memory in a similar way it is presented in our minds. I've already thought about materials, wanting to use something transparent, or at least semi transparent, to be printed on.
NOTE - I settled on using fabric - I had a look at Spotlight for something thin and translucent and was a bit put off by the prices, but I also looked at second hand curtains, which were far cheaper and I think contribute more to the idea I'm trying to communicate. There's also a metaphor there somewhere - something to with the purpose of curtains, how they're used as a barrier in different situations, and obscure things.
The distorted photographs by Sabato Visconti are visually interesting, but I also think this could be a method of partially obscuring an image while maintaining an idea of what it is. At this point I have most of the photos I want to use for the project already, but I could potentially research the method for future projects.
