So, I have no extra photos to upload yet, but this weekend, after much thought and deliberation, I have decided to change tack with an element of my proposed film and sculpture installation.
Instead of making a film exploring the changes in the way we read, socialise and play games, due to the progressive use of technology in our every day lives, I have decided to explore my other favourite subject of travel.
Due to making a long-haul flight at the impressionable age of two, then numerous train journeys during my formative years onwards, the idea of travel has become an intrinsic part of who I am and how I work as an artist.
Further to this is the reverie that one may go through, as a passenger rather than the driver. The ability to sit back and let your mind wander without the necessity to concentrate on the linear route ahead.
The flux and transience of stations and airports, as people arrive and go off to places new, whether for business or pleasure.
The ability to see many towns and cities through the window of a plane, each with lives and a history of their own.
The idea of changes in culture as you move through a continent and the layering that occurs within a town or city, as old architecture and structures stand like testaments of time alongside the new.
Sculpture will now reflect this too, in order to bring them together as one.
