For my final year I am studying women’s identity online and offline. I am interested in seeing how women represent themselves online and the comparison to their offline surroundings. Inspired by a photographic exhibition at the Tate Gallery, London, I am writing to ask you to send me a photograph of the place that most inspires you to write on your blog. This space can be anywhere from your bedroom, your office/workshop to a garden or by the sea. The idea is that these spaces reflect who you are, even if you don’t make it public! I would appreciate it greatly if you were able to help me by taking the photograph and emailing it back to me, with a short paragraph of why you have chosen this place. I will use the images to post in my own blog – and some may be prints to present for the graded work. Please visit my blog http://spacesinspired.wordpress.com/ which explains in greater detail what I am attempting to achieve here, and an example of my own creative space.
