I started this walk not on my own like we were instructed to but with others that were going the same direction. We started talking and I mentioned some memories that happened at the beginning of our path. I found myself mentioning a lot of memories that happened along or near this small stretch of insignificant road. I started to realise that from living in Oxford for so long, every centimetre of this city has some sort of memory attached to it. I started to write these memories, however, insignificant, starting from the top of the page and working down as I carried on walking. This started to form a sort of map of memories because if you look at the page, the memories are placed in the area they were formed in if a map were to be layered under the words. I was interested by the artist Paul Ryan whilst doing this note taking. Ryan focus his work on the making of a sketchbook by using words and first hand written ideas on his page. His work has a lot of rough writing and lines linking ideas, showing his though process expressively with gesture, sort of like a mind map where the actual writing and lettering also conveys ideas not just the words, creating a universal language; which is the basis of art, to be able to communicate without words. Upon looking further at using words in art, I found that Tracey Hill also takes notes and writes down ideas as well as collecting and taking specimens of interest home, this is shown in her 2015 sketchbook records where she takes some leaves or moss from a field of interest to her. It was late autumn where I was walking so I decided to takes leaves that have dropped to the ground. When I got home I pressed these leaves so that they wouldn't decay and I could work on them whenever I needed some background to work on- it was almost like this process was me making my own paper. I decided to apply my initial interest of the memories with this physical object from the ground that the memories were formed on by writing on the leaves and using them as my paper. I tied them together with string and stitches.
