A packed agenda for the Supervision Meeting with both my supervisors.

Potential External, Internal Examiners and Convenor

We discussed the roles of the two examiners for my viva and also the convenor role, hoping to find the perfection combination.  We are now almost at the point where my first supervisor can discuss with the people concerned.  I have agreed to provide 300 words abstract as an introduction to my research.  All this talking about examiners gives an early impression that the end is in sight but in fact I still have fifteen months to go!

Printing Day considering Surfaces

I briefed my supervisors on the printing day and the detail of the papers that I think best serve my work.  We also discussed the possibility of producing a handmade book in large format rather than submitting a commercially printed book.  In this context, my first supervisor suggested Peacock Visual Arts based in Aberdeen.

There are benefits of the handmade option, not least that I have more control over quality, schedules and delivery as well as being able to include late practice that might be precluded by an early commercial deadline.  I also like the idea of producing a personal, individual and beautiful book.  I now plan to visit the Artists’ Book Collection at DJCAD in early September.

Structure of Thesis

We also discussed the structure of my thesis and the various options I had considered.  At this early stage, my supervisors were supportive of the chosen model below:

Thesis Structure Model 1 – Alison Price, June 2022

 

Submission of First Draft of Thesis

My supervisors confirmed that a mid-August delivery of the 1st draft was fine.  They confirmed they would provide feedback to me at a meeting on Tuesday 13 September in Dundee.  I am pleased that we can do this face-to-face.

Finally, we reviewed some images I had taken at Loch Cill Chriosd.  Here is one of their favourites.

Metaphor 100 – Alison Price, June 2022

They confirmed that I should do more work in challenging weather conditions as these images worked well!
