This is some text from a book called 'Gender Voices' by David Graddol and Joan Swann that had influenced a major part of my conceptual investigation which in turn informed key focal points of my creative processing. The books main objective is to explore and evaluate issues and differences between human identity, primarily about there gender (male and female) now these issues have connected in and out at various times within my own interests of investigations but to a secondary extent of yet (regarding subject of both animation and graphic arts). Rather, it was some of the supporting issues of this book that struck points of interest here for me as it helped me understand more in depth about the ideas of investigation and statement's i would have been trying to promote previous work. These 'supporting' issues within the books argument were about different types and strengths of languages/communication and the various effects they can have one, society and culture. Also, having my most previous visual theories subject being on 'Postmodernism' and my essay argument about a response to a Kevin Lynch quote "Cognition is an individual process, but its concepts are social creations" ( forward to environment knowing (1976) - City Sense and City Design) through my own persuasions about two artists work and their representation of space, subjectivity and vision within the postmodern metropolis, I felt a lot of similarities paralleling.

Up and onwards...I soon found that i was trying to piece a common ground between a variety of works, some my own, mostly others on alienation, suppression and hardships, in general forms of the individual, social and domestic forms. I reflected on these issues and thought about notions that infuse them in general terms and decided that obviously different forms of communication and languages were not just very complex and often problematic in translation but can also be very therapeutic and rewarding. It soon became important for my creative investigation to emphasize visually on the 'make-ups' and structures through information taken from what i find and capture, by also way of (which is becoming method of which i am currently working) layering and processing different techniques.
