I've stopped messing around and finished off the first part of my MA.

Rip it to shreds, feedback is always welcome.

The task/topic/concept is?

The task/topic/concept is?

Who, What, Where, Why.

In a nutshell, me as a designer using a quadriptych.

 

[Bazzer]

I can (possibly) get the links between three of the images, but the link to the street picture is eluding me.
I think it is Victoria Street, Edinburgh, but I am not seeing a link between the road name, place, or colours of the shops to your order of words.

 

[Rusty Nails]

This shows the difficulty in trying to second-guess what an artist is thinking as opposed to looking for what the artist has said that they are thinking.
I don't see it as a puzzle to be solved but what I imagined from the pictures was the use of squares/blocks in the design of buildings.

 

[AndyRM]

Broadly, the who is Edinburgh, where I lived until I was 13, what is the implements I use, why is the Getty which was a big inspiration for me and the final one, where, is Newcastle where I've lived for pretty much all of my adult life, as a designer.

Tied together with the grid/lines and blue.

All our leisure - a poem

WHY is this world so full of hate, For blame and war we cannot wait?
No time to think how we could now
Bring peace to childrens worried brows.
No time to stop what we are doing
A ceaseless stream of hatred spewing.
No time to stop the call to arms Does nothing trigger our alarm?
No time to change for our World's good
And far too few who think we should.
No time for mercy, care or love As vultures feed on peaceful doves.
No time to watch as horrors stream
And hatred fills so many screens.
No time - No time - No time at all
The motto of this World's downfall.

I wonder where he gets his inspiration from ?

There is a certain Scottish poet whose verse form is similar.

I presume autocorrect has kicked in and Getty should read Gieske?
I had linked the two middle pictures and interpreted the final picture as a place art was/could be shown, hence not getting the first picture.
Personally, the Gieske picture leaves me cold. But if it inspired you, then to my mind it would be relevant to the sequence. Hopefully, as indicated by @Rusty Nails, the relevance of the images and the sequence, will be explained in your submission to save "head scratching".
Good luck with it.

Pretty much everyone who writes poems to local newspapers writes this way.

It hasn't. It's a shot of the Getty museum in LA.

I see where you're coming from though. And I appreciate the feedback.

A side tangent, this news story about Mary Poppins being changed from "U" to "PG" due to discriminatory language.

It amused me as I doubt that anyone watching the film let alone any child watching the film would have the slightest clue as to what "hottentot" means ...
