Abstract
This photo-collage essay seeks to highlight visually some of the stories of my fieldwork during the project. Although a significant proportion of the research was undertaken in Glasgow Museums Resource Centre and is not covered here, time was spent seeking out connections about place and being ‘in place’ to try and uncover new histories and generate stories that resonate from the collection. The pictures represented here are my own collages inspired by the work of artist extraordinary Marylene Walker. Marylene’s layering of sights, sounds, lives and experiences deeply resonated with me and I used her techniques to help tell the tales of my fieldwork. Extracts from my fieldwork diary accompany the pictures to give some context. These are not detailed interpretations or explanations of the scenes but are, in many ways, simply reflections of being ‘in place’ during the fieldwork.
