After several trials and experimentations, I found a proper way to use cleaning bleach to paint the drawings. I found this way, bleaching a still wet china ink to real the drawing underneath.

Youtube channel on cleaning lady living in the USA
Looking for images for drawing references just came across something that I found on Youtube. 
Several channel about Brazilian woman abroad filming their routine cleaning houses. 
On this video Nubia films herself in her clients house. She is commenting on what is her least favorite cleaning task. For her it is cleaning black furniture. Her clients have many pets its quite hard to keep it clean. She still very high spirited and with some humor works while simultaneously clean the room. 
She also briefly comments on her clients life style and her clients choices of furniture. 
I was surprised sometimes she films every corner of somebody house. I sent her a message asking if they know or give permission. Just for curiosity. As she films very private aspects of a person. 
I wish I had found that out earlier I could get in touch with more woman like her.

ICA Forensic Architecture
Following Max recommendation. I found this exhibition very enlightening.
It showed methods of investigation, research on matters of human right violation. I found it interesting how it was recorded at the exhibition. Mostly video.
Biggest challenge is being experimental. How to tell the stories with falling into the common place. It is book the best option. Should I make a video with a collection of my experience? Maybe. Seriously thinking about it.

Post pinup reflection
Tumblr media
Yesterday was the first pin up after spring break. 
1. I have to find a away to register and show how I am solving problems.
2. Max gave me Mitch miller as a reference to tell the experiences I had while working as maid. Since I was having difficulties to create a narrative that it was linear he suggested something similar to these gigantic maps Mitch Miller creates. I though that is a possibility. I guess I could create 2 big maps and display at the degree show. 
3. For the submission Ceci suggested I create pamphlets one for each house story. They are not always excited so I am not sure some stories deserve one booklet for itself. Also, I find it a bit boring.
4. I still think showing my stories as a collection of research process might work.

First animations post break. 
This week I have done my last cleaning tasks. 
Thursday: A woman picked me up at South Kensington station. She didn't;t want to tell her address. She had hired me for 1 hour to clean her patio and I ended up doing her paperwork for 5 hours. It was a very awkward situation, she was very demanding and quite rude. 
Saturday: I clean a flat for 1 hour in Central London very close to Trafalgar sq. It was a shared flat, I clean the only the communal spaces. It was very small and very simple task. The young man who had hired me kept himself in his bedroom and only left when I knocked the door to say I was leaving. No questions asked no interaction.

I was going through some Hokusai drawing on life and manners of the day as a reference to my own illustrations, as the subject of investigation is daily, repetitive task.
This images were taken from “The life and manners of the day Hokusai Manga” Vol. I

09/04/2018 I have been postponing this post for a long time. One week to summer term to start.
Following Max feedback (12/03), he suggested I create a character to present my position and body of work. Also he pointed my drawing style should visually reflect an ethnographic research, as I was doing previously with class studies. I agree but for my desperation I have not decided on that yet.
I have manage to get another cleaning job during the break at house in Hampstead heath. It was a long cleaning day on a Saturday. From 11:00 _15:00
Still not sure how to present this experiences in a way I am not presenting  as “the experiences of a privilege woman working for some days as a cleaner” or something that might be eligible for a cheesy reality TV program. Another challenge is to consider the marking criteria, I still have to consider such as research and analysis.

Post Max Tutorial: I have to find a way to conciliate my interest in Ethnography as a way to tell a visual story, my experiences and illustrations. Looked at Sophie Calle series “Hotels”. I was told to write down my own experiences. THINK: How to exhibit it?
