Starting Point

I have decided to explore the issue of Missing Persons. Both exploring the 'missing' in my family and also missing people on a wider scale. I am going to explore temporary absence and also permanent absence, and then hopefully as the project develops it will become clearer which element I should focus on. The aim of this project is to create a body of detailed research and a final outcome. I will use films, documentaries (referenced in bibliography) and relevant books as a secondary resource. Primary research may comprise of interviewing family members and using relevant internet resources. I am not definite of what physical form my ideas will take, but embroidery is a medium that I would like to explore more fully. I hope through this project to make an absence a visible presence.
