So what is my question?! Well I want to research the resist techniques used traditionally all around the world then develop my own designs using the techniques which I select. But what of the research methodology and contextual framework? Personal-Historical-Geographical! Definitely Quantitative and experimental but I must begin to think more about the contextual objective. So if 'your work is you and you are your work' I need to be able to express myself with the materials and tools I choose. But first I need to understand the process and find the tools used by the various communities around the world. The sensible thing is to start with the Tjangting which I have used before.
