Alice Fox As a visual artist was it a challenge to write about your practice ?

\n<\/strong>Are the ideas\/themes for this project ongoing or are they new ?
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/em>The themes I am working on for Insights<\/i> are ongoing. I see all of my work as a continuum and although pieces might be presented as discreet \u2018projects\u2019 they are really just steps along the same pathway. The brief we developed for Insights<\/i> made it clear that we wanted members to work in their usual way, recording their development process and trying to understand more about why they do what they do. Writing about it would enable a sharing of that process but also perhaps a learning experience for us individually.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/em><\/strong>I recently completed an MA in Creative Practice. Writing reflectively about our own work was something we were very much encouraged to do as part of the course. I really valued embedding that reflection in my practice and felt it was something I wanted to continue after the course finished. It can be a challenge to take the informal reflective writing that one might do in a notebook for one\u2019s own use and turn that into something that someone else might want to read. I have enjoyed attempting to do that coherently. As the person responsible for bringing the publication together for the group (with support of other members and our Editors June Hill and Melanie Miller) I have so enjoyed getting to know my fellow members\u2019 work more through this project. I\u2019m really looking forward to sharing that with our readers when the book is published.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/textilestudygroup.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/06\/alice-fox-studio-landscape-websize-copy.jpg?resize=783%2C522\")
