My final project in the MA Show emerged from the vast subject of my Research Report. Five earmarks of visual 'disorder'; apophenia, horror vacui, repetition, obsession and synesthesia. Before I settled on the scroll form, I was intent on making a series of concertina books as a departure from the long, run-on canvas. I ultimately went with what felt most natural and is most conducive to long streams of visual information.

The scrolls, sketchbook, concertina, animations and captions put together at last. It took towel rack holders and a large piece of electrical tubing to put together a solid fitting for it. |

The scroll in progress, I actually managed to put time into this while commuting. I enjoyed the side-eye from fellow passengers. |

Sorting out the monitor for the animation element involved lots of cables and stress. |
