Field Notes is a title framing a body of experimental work using moving image (and sometimes sound) as the primary medium. I have used accessible technologies to create a ‘sketch book’ of moving image works, and for this reason they are framed as Field Notes: a strategy to capture immediate data specific to a time and place, positioned as provisional and indicative within bigger research projects. I have chosen to introduce two moving image pieces from the Field Notes collection. ‘Primordial’ (2017) and ‘The Ascent of Woman’ (2018) both include sound as an element that is given equivalence to the visual within the whole.
