Reflective Statement

 *Brixton*

 When I go to a new place i usually get some strong impressions that I never forget. Some items from that visit stay in my mind. Those impressions never disappear when I go to the same place a second time. So during my research at Brixton Market exactly that happened. Therefore, I could find new interesting items, then what had thought about first impression of this place. That was my problem. The reason is that I had limited images of the place in my mind and during Unit one I felt confused on how to research the market as I wasn’t sure how to start. However, it became easier as through my visits I found items that drew my attention and I was naturally drawn to them. This made me think about them in a variety of different ways. However my items did not match or link in any special way. However I looked at it carefully and the most interesting aspect was that it was made of a variety lampshades stuck together, some were even stuck opposite to each other. It used many colours , different fabrics and shapes. The designs were all different. It reminded me of Asia because some of the lampshades looked like a Chinese red lantern shape. I thought those chandeliers were an incredibly good idea. In addition I felt that they were a good match to Brixton Village. During unit one i was not sure how to research.  I leant that research is just as important as the end result. Research helps my work become more interesting and developed.
