The Map: First Attempt

So I've had a go at putting all of the images that match my research into a map. Take a look to see where each piece of art was created/existed. you can scroll around to find the little camera icons, then click on an icon to see the image. There are some in Wrexham, Stoke-on-Trent and Leek (to the left and right of where the map seems to settle).

If I write in yellow III

If I Write in Yellow III is a list, something that many of us use as an everyday tool, small reminders of what we have to do or things we have to buy. But this list is full of small, seemingly insignificant, things that most of us would take for granted. The list is written on a pane of glass and describes the area seen through and surrounding the glass, as well as events that might happen as the list is written. The artwork becomes a memory, a snippet of a diary in the day of the window, or the person looking through, and exists only temporarily until it is wiped away.

If I Write in Yellow illustrates a desperate attempt to communicate with a loved one. The list, written in yellow ink, becomes a description of life and experience for the sufferer. It visualises attempts to allow a person to remain independent for as long as possible. For the onlooker the list is written backwards, it shows an outsiders view of a relationship between a carer and a sufferer. A relationship that is not understood by many but may only be avoided by a few.
