This project focuses on how a personal narrative can be communicated through a subject's personal space. Illustration and collage are used to reflect aspects of the personal narrative of a number of different subjects. Central to my research is an exploration of ways to create a portrait and the accompanying narrative without having the literal figure of the subject as part of the artwork, creating the opportunity for new narratives to be made through the act of viewing. Practice-led research is the overarching methodology throughout all stages of the project, with reflection-in-action and tacit knowledge also employed during the process.
