I had an excellent conversation with Anthony Prothero and appreciated his views about my work. On the whole he liked my FMP but had some suggestions which he wanted me to think about. Of the main points he suggested was to introduce pictures of the room my father occupied after my mothers death. I did use one of these pictures previously, which I incorporated in the vase of my mothers. I had always liked this image but Anthony didn’t think it was strong enough. At point of writing I have kept the vase picture and introduced the hotel images in addition to it. Other points discussed included why I had not included my siblings in the project. I explained why and still believe its the correct decision at this stage. The major issue I have had is the 3D model of my head with my Fathers and Mothers face superimposed. The images look very modern/technical compared to the archival images. I think the best solution is to use them in a possible gallery context, and not include the images in my book.
