‘Presence of mind’
is an ancient concept, and one originally developed by the followers of Buddha to help them suspend belief and remove any sense of prejudice from their mind when encountering a situation that was new or different. It is an ability also found in inuitive artists and designers- the ability to place what they have learned from previous experiences to one side, and to focus on present events without preconception and without prejudicing what they are seeing or thinking with views they might already hold to be true or correct.
This project, is a chance to open my eyes, sharpen my senses, hone my cognative and analytical skills and to dare to know. A chance to experiment, challenge the familiar and seperate myself from any habits or predjudices i may have picked up from previous projects before university.
