Personal Interests >> Artistic Concerns

This is a mind map that links some of the things that I love in everyday life to my artistic concerns and interests through my love for new things and things which are weird/ wonderful (as well as clever). I could have expanded it more to include my music tastes etc. but I wanted to keep it simple/ understandable.

Doing this was useful to me because it allowed me to draw links between my practice and other interests (which I didn't do enough of in the last map). It also helped me to visualise these connections better.

I'm not sure how I got there but one of the bubbles says - 'clever, colourful, complex or just weird - organised matched mess'. This probably doesn't make any sense to anyone else but it sums me up well.

I am going to use this map as the stimulus for my illustrated self. I think that some of the slightly nonsensical ideas that have come out of it are interesting and sum me up as a person well. I think that these would be really interesting things to explore visually. Using collage could be an interesting means for doing this (and drawing?).
