Anna Macleod Transparent Drawing for project

Anna Macleod: DIT: Response to 6 questions from Triptych.

1. Has working on this subject / theme altered your drawing process in any way?

I am coming to this project TRIPTYCH relatively late but the theme has helped consolidate some of the aspects of a drawing project already in progress: a reflection on the evolving architectural constructions in public houses in Ireland in response to the smoking ban, this social legislation for health and safety in the work place has changed the vernacular architectural landscape and altered the nature of social interaction in the pub.

2. Has the idea of a possible collaborative outcome altered your thinking / working methods in any way?

Not yet but I am interested in this project specifically because of the potential for collaborative opportunities.

3. How has the experience of your practice reviewed and viewed by your peers in Triptych influenced your work?

Ones work is constantly viewed and reviewed, it goes with the territory of
being an arts practitioner. The exciting aspect of Triptych is that it offers a platform for discourse on the practice of drawing with the opportunity for interdisciplinary and collaborative engagements.

4. Have you discussed this piece of work / process with anyone else in triptych while carrying out the work?

Not yet but I am looking forward to some dialogue about our postings.

5. Has anything you saw at the triptych IMMA symposium influenced your thinking or process in any way?

Unfortunately I was out of the country at the time and missed the symposium.

6. What collaborative outcome would you suggest as being appropriate for this research group?

A website / blog seems a logical outcome for a number of reasons, as suggested by Brian Fay it could be an educational tool and post graduate forum as well as providing possibilities for future collaborations with regular updates & information on evolving practices. It is important that whatever forum we use reaches a greater critical audience and will potentially lead to a broader pool for further collaborative opportunities.
