Inspiration

Sophie Calle ~ conceptual artist whose work focuses on human idendity and interaction, often blurring the boundaries between

personal and public life.

In her first work Suite Venitienne, Calle followed a stranger from Paris to Venice documenting him in a diary using photographs and

text.

Richard Avedon ~ photographer who spent five years travelling across the American West photographing the uncelebrated

people.

“I’m looking for a new definition of a photographic portrait. I’m looking for people who are surprising - heartbreaking - or

beautiful in a terrifying way. Beauty that might scare you to death until you acknowledge it as part of yourself.”

(Laura Wilson 2005 p.17)

My work so far

Hybrid

General life to be honest for me is terrifying but exciting at the same time... going to America.

…

Writing my dissertation, the whole process has been enough to give me night-mares!

…

I’m really scared I’ll be forgotten.

…

Exams scare me a touch, as I seem to forget everything I know the moment I walk in there, useful.

…

I fear that it’s all for nothing.

…

Where will my wine come from???

…

The conservative party

…

My biggest fear is that no one would miss me if I die.
