Research for Arab Spring Project

I have started to get my photographs together whilst working out how I can get my laptop (I've transferred everything to this from my old desk computer which has ground to a halt).  I'm very excited about this project as I can see a number of routes:

• Photographs
• Journeys - a quote from the Grayson Perry exhibition "the journey has become a tired metaphor of reality television describing a transformative experience".  Diary
• Faith, art, calligraphy and science (Islamic art at BM)
• "To God belongs the East and the West" Qu'ran 2:115
• Books
• Combination of my own experience and news headlines. 
• Maps (Grayson Perry) "we trust maps.  Maps are meant to be a trustworthy diagram of reality.
• Prints of Relicts

This combines a number of areas in which I've had an interest

Another exhibition was the Leonardo Prints at BMAG - A map of the Pontine Marshes c1515 made of pen & ink, wash, blue bodycolour over black chalk.

Things I need to do:

Sort out photographs and scanning process
Transcribe my diaries from last year
Make a map outlining the journey
Research on the origins of the Arab Spring
Collagraph and Monoprints of key points

As I said - I am quite excited ....
