Data Analysis_Critical Reflection_Coding memo_005. 28 April 2020 . Sally Interview 20 Jan 2020. Phase 2. Generating initial codes

Process and flow of coding ideas:

Began by scanning the verbatim extracts identified in coding memo 003 and dragged and dropped into the cognitive thought slide. Moved onto latent codes and resumed transcript at approx. 08:00 minutes in. Awareness of senses of scale, vertiginous height in bright contrast areas could imply safety, and travelling whilst drawing on the escalator into the dark abyss is dangerous. Where dangerous or not in bright light, there is safety in drawing from memory. Considering verbatim extracts that imply independence, confidence or lack of and being unobtrusive. Protection in a herded commuter crowd – as a lone person not going with the flow causes delay to the group. Colour coded verbatim extracts in the scale, light, dark, height category in bright orange, in reference to the Glasgow clockwork orange colours used. Pale pink for fears in the confidence, independence and unobtrusive category. Running the audio against the transcript and amending any errors. Considering extracts that reflect upon confidence, independence and not being visible and possible identification with those who are tired, crumpled and disintegrating in a rushing commuter crowd. Also beginning to extract verbatim transcript which relates to how sight loss informs practice.

Initial latent codes identified today:

Bright contrast and virtiginous height allows security and safety. Dark and a sense of the abyss requires drawing from memory

Drawing from memory once safe and secure

Close proximity of others inhibits creative practice

Scale and safety inspire confidence in creativity

Large scale works are challenging but are also nostalgic

Being visible is not being discreet

Protection in a herded group – a lone person who doesn’t know the rules causes delay

Not being visible, being anonymous and a lack of self-consciousness helps with confident drawing

Eye-contact inhibits creativity and is uncomfortable

Interested and inquisitive people hamper privacy and creativity

Close proximity of others and inquisitive questions stifle creative practice

Communication is not always verbal

Preliminary semantic codes considered today:

Sight-loss informs drawing practice by paring down to essentials

High contrast materials and colours are preferred

Violet hues faded first.

Internal visual maps are utilised for navigation – applicable to sighted and non-sighted people

Losing sight-loss is a creative advantage

Striving for independence is necessary to adapt
