The Day After The Day After Tomorrow

The work aims to look at the autobiographical and intimate nature of the self and the everyday and making the private into the public. In the creation of a body of fragmented work which encompass drawings, extracts of text from my own diaries, journals and notebooks, photography and video work I explore surrounding themes of isolation, private journey, anxieties and melancholia and honest feeling of everyday life.

I wish to incorporate a sense of direct and honest documenting of significant feelings, experiences and moments while maintaining a sense of authenticity in the work as I investigate my own personal experience of the everyday with these incidental pieces. Using low-fi media and materials which carry inherent notions of impermanence I make reference to the passing of time while keeping an awareness of surface, space and how the materials chosen are interacted with and received by the viewer.
