NOTES FROM DISCUSSION:
– Look at more other typically ‘feminine crafts’- knitting, sewing etc. + research the historical and cultural context behind weaving.
– Touch on feminist theory- role of mother in comparison to father ( did that differ from typical- looking at parents parents)
– Lots of scope for playing with materials; KEEP EXPERIMENTING
– Could look at different caring activities for research .
– Continue with writing as its providing useful insight and also could be a good way to get thoughts out to the surface to work from.
– Explore sense of realisation/ feeling of being safe
– Explore the link between texture and comfort/feeling
-Research mothering techniques how they vary and contradict each other.- leaving a baby to cry, cradleboard
-Imagery to continue/ look at- ‘mothers milk’, objects of childhood, first ever braces, mothers teeth, self building objects, fragmentary memories.
