Description | In 2012 I received research funding from Southampton Solent University to investigate the text of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. This involved analysis of the text and exploration of its themes, characters and locations in a variety of processes/media, with its’ foundation in location drawing and sketchbook work. During this period my father died and I revisited creative writing as an expressive tool and wrote a number of texts around the themes of identity, home, and family. I then began to recognize similarities between the themes I was exploring and those within “Great Expectations”, namely loss, identity, and family. |
