OCA tutor and assessor looks at the work of Level 3 student John Umney. John’s body of work and written project weave together to tell a story about the way a place or object can act as a point of awakening, evoking true or false memories or indeed fictional narratives based on the contents of your mind.

I looked at this while watching They were Not Divided on TV – one of my late dad’s favourties. The two things resonated. 🙂
Thanks for featuring John’s work and approach which I have been following for a while and find really thought provoking and inspiring. Excellent essay indeed.
I’m pleased to see John’s work being shown here. It’s such a creative project, drawing me into his journey through his ‘memories’ and the essay provides rich contextual background.
Thanks Robert, most kind
I never tire of seeing this piece of work, John. The images become more and more nuanced with each reading. As I’m now at level 3 myself I will enjoy taking some time to read your critical essay as something to aspire to!
Thanks Michael, I have taken a great deal of inspiration from your work, and still do. Looking forward to meeting up next time.
John, I shall respond to your work soon, but in the meantime, I have also drawn inspiration from your work Michael …
Thank you Amano.
