Past projects? Similar concepts?
During specialism, I have explored the concept of healing by sharing my experience in hospital due to having frequent asthma attacks in the Radio project. I found the medium of sound very effective when telling my experience as there are so many sounds relating to the hospital and sickness in general. There is also the unmistakable inhaler sound that is very specific to asthma. I wish to build upon this project during FMP by interviewing my parents not only because I cannot recall most of what happened, but also gives an insight into what it was like from their perspective.
Although I had difficulty with it at first, I wish to utilise stop motion animation in my FMP because it creates the more character and materiality than digital animation. I feel like digital animation would suit the more impersonal areas, where as the materiality is needed to create more personal details.
I wish to also somehow incorporate rubber stamping as again, it’s material nature would lend itself quite well in the subject.

I really enjoyed the researching aspect of this project, however I struggled with being strict and selective with what I wanted to communicate in the final outcome. My plan was to make an interactive book showing the properties of tape without being obvious... which then turned into an interactive roll.... which then ended up showing the ‘origin story’ of each type of tape. I feel as though I just wasn’t clear enough with what I wanted to communicate, which is reflected in my final outcome. I’m determined to develop on what I have already done and create a sufficient outcome which clearly communicates the properties of tape.
· Native American healing traditions vary by tribe
· Health is “an expression of the spirit and a continual process of staying strong spiritually, mentally and physically”
· Herbs used by Native Americans used in modern medicine today
· Made syringes from hollow bones
· Before mid 1800s European doctors did not have any anaesthetics but many tribes did, so their surgeries were more humane

For some reason, I had never bothered to research the history of my little blue inhaler, and I can’t believe how many models there have been.
From steam tents to cigarettes, from coffee to formulas that contain 3.5% cocaine, treatments and asthmatic equipment has come such a long way.
My dad once told me that back when he was a kid, the area where he grew up did not fully understand the cause of asthma, and believed that he was faking his attacks. He told me that his doctor would tell him that asthma was caused by ‘stale air’ in the lungs and that he needed to get rid of the air by lying to the side and patting the side of his ribs.
