Capturing the moment when foundation touching the paint. The first contact, interaction. How one fades into another after a moment the same as we get used to things after we getting to know them. Ā

Summary of work progress
1. Major project research and visual investigation
Iām in progress of Annotated Bibliography development for Advanced Research classes. My research questions is:Ā
Whatās the role of sensory experiences in bringing attention to the present moment and how mindfulness influences wellbeing?
I will aim to research how to awaken curiosity through senses, slow down and practice the state of not thinking and being present.Ā I aim toĀ explore what it is like to look with fresh eyes, closely, beginnerās mind. Apart from literature review,Ā I might create online surveys or systems.

Testing sheets - first tests wasnāt too good. My plan is to prepare several new ones for the future.
8. Mock ups (planning)
Modular type & photography collection
The modular type, Iāve created, is inspired by the shape of hand/fingers. As my project focuses on the sense of touch I wanted it to look like the touch medium - fingers. Overall, Iām happy with the final outcome. I think that the letters look imperfect and itās easy to play with them/adjust the layout.Ā
Most recently Iāve also started using a macro lens to look closer at different structures, nature and myself. Iām very happy with the final outcome, however, I think it looks very girly - probably because of the warm, pinkish colours. In the future, I will try to remain a neutral outcome of the photos.
Type experiment: Skin under the microscope
This experiment focused on looking closer at the skin. From the microscope photo collection, I categorised the pictures by the letters they look like. The further development will aim to create animation with the videos I made.
Type experiment: Scans
For this experiment scanned the letters from laser cutting experiment and printed text. While scanning, I was moving the object to achieve a distorted effect. This experiment aimed to picture the sense of vision. I really like this method as it was hard to predict the effect - In a way itās difficult to control but can be very inspiring.Ā
Type experiment: sponge stamps and finger prints
Since my topic relates to the senses, for this experiment Iāve decided to try out stamps and fingerprints. Thanks to these methods I could āmanipulateā shapes of the letters by pressing the stamps/fingers against the paper in many different ways. Iāve made the stamps from the same sponge as in the previous experiment but slightly different shapes. I like the effect of this experiment as it the type have a crafty, organic look, depth and vibrant texture. For the next stages of the experiment, I would develop more letters out of finger prints only and use different colours.
Ā In the further part of the experiment, I've edited the letters digitally and created textures out of them.
