My body of work, Mu (無) Part 1, reflects my research question by exploring the space between movement and stillness through street photography, cyanotype, hand stitching, rice paper, and installation.

This week I was working right up to the deadline, and it was at this point that I genuinely thought I might not finish the installation in time.

In Lee Ufan's art, nothingness does not mean emptiness as absence or lack. Instead, it becomes an active space of possibility.

James Rhodes is a Newcastle interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and teacher at Newcastle Art School whose practice examines photography as a physical and spatial object rather than simply a two-dimensional image.

The repetitive act of passing needle and thread through the paper introduced a meditative process that mirrored the themes of the project.

As the project developed, I moved away from my original proposal. Material testing, conceptual refinement, and making processes led me to replace the noren curtain and timber grid with a unified installation.

The following week, the next step was to begin cutting each cyanotype so they could be fitted into the orange safety barrier fencing.

Over seven days I focused on sealing all of the cyanotype rice papers so they would be strong enough to handle, glue, stitch, and eventually install.

This topic explores creativity as an active, ongoing process rather than a simple moment of inspiration.

Staying focused is not about removing uncertainty completely, but about creating enough structure, support, and motivation to keep returning to the work.

The school break became less of a break and more of an intensive production period that allowed the project to move forward at the scale I needed.

Mario Giacomelli reinforces the idea that photography can operate as a record of perception rather than a record of reality.

This week focuses on understanding the studio as both a creative and working environment.

How can my interdisciplinary practice across street photography, cyanotype, and installation explore the interval between movement and stillness through the philosophical concept of mu (無) in response to a body whose mental and physical capacity is changing?

We visited both the Art Gallery of New South Wales and White Bay Power Station, two exhibition sites operating within the Biennale program.

The studio environment plays an important role in the creative process because it is more than just a physical place where art is made.

Sound is a powerful part of video and moving image work because it can shape how an audience feels before they fully understand what they are seeing.

This week, drawing on research from previous weeks, think of ideas for a concept video that may or may not form part of my final project.

Daido Moriyama's practice is closely connected to the act of wandering. He has often described himself as a stray dog walking through the streets with a camera.

Meghann Riepenhoff is a contemporary artist whose work expands the possibilities of photographic practice through the use of cyanotype and direct environmental exposure.
