After a lot of thinking, I am still torn on my stance with authority and I’ve decided to reflect this by showcasing an established system of ruling into the home. I’ll be looking at how we dispicline our children and the changes they face when they become an adult in the eyes of the law

The wigs gave the impression of Punk art and anti establishment art // these are some photos taken from my research that are pushing me to look at how I stand on the idea of the ‘system’ and authority. Through this research it is clear that I’m torn and don’t know where I stand. I will be making my own punk banners that show conflicting messages

BCU // school of law // fake court room As a group we visited BCUs fake court room which is used to teach criminology students. The rooms atmosphere was strange and held a feel of authority. The varying levels of seating gives the impression of class levels and levels of respect and authority.

Edmund Clark // Video installation, the videos are continuous videos of the perimeters of the prison, highlighting the repetitiveness of a prison and it’s surroundings. The movement in the video also accents as a zooming effect again giving a sense of examination
