Whilst going on a lovely with two of my closest friends I stumbled across some views that got me thinking about my project…

Seeing all the rubbish pushed into the ground made me a little frustrated. It’s takes very little time to put your rubbish away. Anyway! It made me think about the idea of there being all these unnatural substances within the natural environments. How we use cosmetic materials on our natural bodies (I for one am guilty as I love using make up), how we use both man made and natural materials, and how you could look at it that sometimes people use their wardrobe to create an unnatural perception of themselves. Just the whole idea of how we have created a cosmetic and man made world really got me thinking and gave me my initial inspiration for this project.

Successful day if you ask me!

 

 

When asked whether he felt a weight of responsibility in capturing the traumatic, personal narratives, Brian Adams responded:

” I just thought that I should try to be as honest with them as possible, because they were being honest with me.”

Initially the images make me feel consumed, they draw me in and make me take a moment to consider what it is they could have gone through in order to get to where they are today, not just the traumatic event of being in war but the rehabilitation physically and mentally afterwards.

After the initial observation I start to notice the textures displayed and patterns created as the result of such an awful event it think are beautiful. The scars represent a pattern that I think would be really effective as a print on a garment.

‘Brilliantly surreal campaign’

“I’ve always loved being a women, I’ve never wanted to be a man. But I definitely think it has its challenges”

The statement ‘Legs are not doors’ is really emotive to me. Makes me think about someone- a girl, demonstrating that she is proud of who she is and that she has control over her and who enters it.

 

Born in Liverpool in 1949, Tony initially started a career as a laboratory assistant and helped to test, manipulate and develop different types of rubber. Whilst working he decided to draw to try and understand the the experiments further and thus this led to the significant of the drawings becoming more to him than the experiments.

I found his work really inspiring as it made me consider silhouette and really think about the shapes in which could be effective. I liked the idea of having layers, and different sections that fit together. I think this could really emphasis the idea and represent how there is unnatural elements that lie within natural environments. How different substances come together to make something new and exciting.
