Initial ideas and mindmapping

To begin with I noted down lots of ideas to do with both Mystery and Imagination. Mystery:

• Darkness


• suspicious- misgiving: doubt about some one's honesty


• magical


• unknown


• question- doubt: uncertainty about the truth or existence of something


• myths


• God- idol: a material effigy that is worshipped;


• future


• undiscovered


• murder


• shadows - shade within clear boundaries


• crime/investigation


• past/war


• forest


• creation - the event that occurred at the beginning of something;


• secrets


• space- an empty area (usually bounded in some way between things);

Imagination:

• de ja vu


• spontaneous


• uncontrollable


• dreams- a succession of images, thoughts, sounds, or emotions which pass through the mind during sleep


• unreal


• craziness


• fun


• dimensions


• strange


• story telling- unbelievable


• fantasy


• emotions


• colour


• development


• lost-unable to be found or recovered


• expressive


• magical- characteristic of or appropriate to supernatural powers


• random


• sleep


• invention

These are all words and ideas of which may help influence my initial ideas.

I then went on to creating possible tasks like:

- Getting lost and taking photos of the place and whats around, how you felt etc

- making a board game become reality

- Photography past- time line

- Photographing the essence of God

- Abandoned spaces

- Creating visual riddles

This was a beginning exercise to get my mind thinking and experimenting more with ideas. This helped me lead into different artist research to begin working with initial ideas.
