Start spreading the News... Inspiration struck from the time I spent in America over the summer of 2022. A trip to New jersey and New York. The focus of my project is to convey the feeling of a city and my own memories. In this time, I was able to immerse myself into the warmth. Into the busy bustling, loud and cramped streets, where I became a tourist and felt like a local within a matter of days. The same city where I also experienced a calming, light and poetic side to the city, where the loudness and fast paced music of human nature, footsteps and traffic became sounds of my new every day. I want my project to feel like a memoir, a poem, and reflection to the past. The focus being to convey my own experiences of a new city but also the feelings that come along side memories. What was once my daily life is now all memories to be relived through conversation. With two collections showing different sides to the city, one being the calm nature and other a more urban and lived inside. The warmth and generosity I felt through my time in New York was the driving force to create this story. Through the use of many different types of printing processes and experimentations I hope to of achieved the impact a city can have on a person, not only reflecting my own memories but also triggering memories of your own.
