I originally wanted to make a book because of the physical, material quality of an object and its grounding role on storytelling. However, with the pandemic, this will prove to be very difficult because objects and people are having to be experienced by different, non-physical ways. This is why I think that for my final project, I would like to compile the little stories I have been sharing on this blog, along with others from the first semester in a different, more specifically curated space. This way, the narrative can be designed and experienced with this «digital bridge» in mind.
Speaking with Jon, we discussed the idea of also adding some form of narration or audio file to accompany the visual content. I am interested in this, so the experience feels more personal and material, through the performative.
I borrowed these rocks from the River Dee the day the lockdown started. I will give them back when everything goes back to being a little less terrifying, which I hope is soon.
