For my external collaboration I really wanted to create something involving photography. I reached out to fashion photographer Angela Farrell who has recently left Falmouth Arts University.
We brainstormed a few ideas that we could make an impact with:
Climate change/environmental issues - has been done a lot but could push it further using sustainable, slow fashion or alternatively only incorporate materials like plastic and oil etc.
PTSD after sexual abuse - Angie already had some ideas for this subject involving a film but I felt a film would not suit my brief well. Also the subject is incredibly sensitive so could be hard to negotiate ethics wise.
Incorporating Dance - using dance as a way to escape, Angie has contacts with dancers and studios in London where we could shoot and create something around the topic.
However my favourite idea came to mind when I realised both Angela and I suffer with IBS (Irritable Bowel Disease). When I mentioned this to Angie the idea of creating a project around the subject seemed like it was meant to be and we came up with ideas for content for the project.
A publication addressing IBS as a hidden disease
- using selfies of sufferers
- imagery of toilet and toilet related stuff in public spaces
- stylist and make up moodboards
- location ideas eg. toilets (brainstorm with Angie)
- create text content - statistics, interviews, advice, problems, educational
- include work from other sufferers (Emma, Pip (illustrator)?)
Another illustrator/creative we know, Pippa Kane, is currently doing a project on a related topic and would like to be involved in creating the publication.
