This morning we started the day with an MA Photography group session with Yan Preston. Yan wanted to hear from all of the group on their projects and was there to give advice and feedback on the project proposals. Coming to my presentation, I had showed my presentation slides and talked about what I have learnt along with where I am up to and what's next for me. Yan gave me some great insights to research like how can hair become valuable and looking deeper into the shapes and patterns of human hair, along with some great artists to look at including, Indu Antony, Sophie Callie and Taryn Simon. Yan was impressed with the amount of new techniques I have tried over the past seven weeks of lectures and how I have learned in the style of new practitioners and I just have to work out how to build this project together with a good way of articulating my project.

When I had finished speaking and Yan was helping with artist research, she had typed 'hair cut' into Google and asked what I saw and how different my images and work is compared to the normal style of hair cuts. It made me think how I have created work that isn't like normal salon imagery of hair cuts but more a performance art piece with my video of the hair cut. After talking about this concept and Yan saying to have a look at performance arts and to try and incorporate it into my project and see if it works for experimental practice.
