On reading Victor and Colin’s comments about Product and Process for the MA Forum, it became clear to me why I’m am doing an MA. It is to explore research based practice, which is new and challenging for me.

Meeting with Maria to discuss my project was very daunting and I didn’t feel very articulate on the day. I’ve never felt very articulate about my own work, and in the past, have just produced work, then thought about it afterwards. The process of researching and writing about an idea before I explore the practice is entirely new for me.

However, after speaking with Maria, it helped to focus my thoughts (and make me realise that they are VERY broad) and enable me to write a little. I am much more of a talker than a writer. Her comments in response were helpful, especially with language and structure.
