Sarah Jeffries
I am currently researching how the merging of painting and the ready-made can hold auto-ethnographic power, towards re-thinking the power of the white wedding image. This research is adopting theoretical tools of Breton's Surrealism as a core conceptual framework to the project, whilst using Bricolage as a methodological approach to making studio work.
