So I thought about the concepts I had gone through already, looking into the areas of escapism, creation, destruction and tracking of trails. I opted to draw a chalk version of the well known flypath on the floor outside the entrance to Telford College. The place was very significant to the piece as it makes [...]

So I got back to the studio and asked Carrie if I could use her whiteboard. IT rubs out things efficiently without leaving any marks. This was similar to some of the concepts I’d been going through in my head such as the unappreciation of the flies escape route. I would eliminate any knowledge of [...]

I have decided with Jennie’s guidance not to opt for the last idea, mainly as it conflicts completely with the other work I’ve done so far. So I have created a flypath for myself, empathising with the insect. I drew a chalk circle on the ground and then folowed the path the fly made whilst [...]

I got interested in the idea that one can get trapped in its own escape route, “like in donnie darko but only behind you” as hannah says. So basically I ended up tying a large bit of string around me and then to the wall. This would record everywhere I went for that period of [...]
