Welcome to the Research and Enquiry module

 “There is such a thing as poetic, ecstatic truth. It is mysterious and elusive, and can be reached only through fabrication and imagination and stylization”(Hertzog in Ebert 1999).
 

 I have chosen ‘Place’ because of my interest in report­age and documentary drawing, and also because it is broad enough to describe community, history, imaginary, virtual and factual places. I want to explore the area of documentary fiction, and am inspired by Werner Herzog’s Minnesota declaration about poetic truth.
I am interested in the way an illustrator can begin with a real place or situation and communicate a ‘truth’ through imagination, stylization, and selection. I have also included some relevant posts to my role in education.
