Abstract
This thesis considers the notion of the ‘pictorial’. This sits in opposition to conceptual art’s more deliberate, rationalised, and theoretical working methods. My aim is to explore a balance through the combination of both ‘pictorial’ and ‘conceptual’ strategies.
The studio submission Indifferent Attitude uses subtle shifts in production techniques to present a fractured suite of photographic works. In so doing, it plays with the convention of photographic practice and resists any requirement to provide a clear sense of limits.
