In bringing my work work together for my tutorial and critical review of work to date I felt that I wanted to extend the work I started for "50 Things" I have edited down the list to 25 items which I felt could have imagery associated with them. The idea being that from title or notions applied to myself, I could generate what might appear to be a random series of images. I considered how I might extend this as a set and experimented with the idea of mini-images in the form of a series of postage stamps. Although this set represents links to points in my life it can be initially seen as a selection of seemingly random images. The images only demonstrate their links to me by the added visual signs of my silhouette and caption on the stamps.
To further this I considered how the stamps might be used in another visual association, ie. on envelopes linked visually by the appearance of an address/franking stmps etc. but, using the visual position of the address as an opportunity to link some meaning or comment to the image on the stamp. In this case, the intention being to see this piece of text as a short piece of "graphic poetry" maybe, directed at the person/character associated with the object. My intention with this excercise was to consider how to develop strands of creative thought moving away from the initial context of "50 Things" towards image and creative text.
