The Diagram As Art, 2016
This project investigates the role of the diagram in describing human life. As a society we have a tendency to analyse people in two ways: Personally and Factually. By combining the two in a formal design a discussion can be aroused on which is most important, how these judgements effect society and can we really ever fully understand, describe or analyse a human life?
Investigation 1: Family trees.
How our family life and relationships effect our behaviour and the stereotype with which we are labelled. These famous individuals are recognisable through the 'factual' and historical representations provided to us through media and education. However, look closer and smaller details arise that humanise their emotional character and decision making.
[Also note how skills and fame link to family heritage - is this due to hereditary skills, social circles or self-belief in the possibility of success?]

Investigation 2: The Human Mind.
Can the mind be visually represented? What makes a 'normal' thought process? And can we bring the 'normal' understanding of the 'unique?
