MA Creative Media Practice- Are You Here

Are You Here is a genealogical journey exploring family history, identity and place through illustration and digital media.  The work is designed to question the nature of family and genealogical links to places, making us wonder whether it is a coincidence that we are instinctively drawn to places or if we actively try to create links with places where we have connections (no matter how distant or close). The final work involved sculpture, illustration, blog, an ebook and exhibition (recorded in a video, below).
