My visual ideas so far after exploring the documentation from Sharon Harper and taking influence from her work, my ideas have progressed into wanting do do more documentation, alongside experimenting along the way. My main inspiration from Harper is about looking at things that are out of usual eye reach, a subject of focus that doesn't grasp everyone's main attention but still holds their interest when explored . With Harper's use of the telescope aiding the eyes to see something much further away, enabling herself and others to have a snipet of something available to us everyday but somehow unreachable, whether it's due to social or an environmental reason behind why we don't see things how others do at first .
Visually, my influences have been altered to try and create a sense of experimental and surrealism in my images alongside documenting ideas that open questions to the audience.
Something that was sparked whilst researching Sharon Harper was the sense of supernatural images and surrealism, how I captured a trio of colours around the moon from the telescope, aiding my ideas towards having a supernatural concept for some visual experiments; alongside the conceptual practice of something existing beyond reach.
The main thing that intrigues me with experimental images is the wide range of thoughts audiences are open to. An area of study such as space could represent something humans are still unfamiliar with. I will bring this idea forward for my first shoot, I'll use areas that lack human existence and I'll be looking at the departure of life the place has, looking at aesthetic reasons why the places are abandoned with observing the areas.
