How Could The Research Question Be Investigated Through Practice? What types of illustrations would you make in response to this, and why? Think about processes too.

Illustrations drawing from and combing various pre-existing images most likely through collage. Naturally collage invokes questions of originality and authorship within a practitioners work and therefore seems the most appropriate process to my proposed line of investigation.
