Closing notes

The research now stands on a clear set of decisions. Keep evidence of time visible on the surface. Pair materials so light and residue read together. Use fields rather than single statements so spacing and seam can do compositional work. Treat fragments as part of the language. Plan display as meaning through height, distance and soft, directional light. These choices give the work a stable position and a method that can move into new sites and scales. They also define the practice as expanded drawing rather than illustration.

For assessment, the documentation shows wide views, mid views and close details of surfaces where the argument sits, including seams, chips and pooled valleys under raking light. The writing is supported by relevant exhibitions and texts with in-text citations and a full bibliography. From this point the practice is ready to extend into site situations and small participatory acts without changing its core. A fuller personal account of the shift in thinking and confidence sits on a separate page titled What changed in me.
