20x20 Project









Ok, so here are a few of the pages from the small 20x20 book project.
There is an underlying story which ties each picture together; its not so apparent at first but the imagery used is a direct story of a personal struggle through the last year.
Ive played around with photo montage, white space, typography and poetic words that sum up my thoughts on certain events. Some of the imagery is more personal than others and don't need an explanation...this is in no way a diary...
The small tragedy's, and little glimpses of hope and happiness in each persons life that can be reflected on... the kind that don't make sense at the time.
Each event has a beautiful quality to make you who you are today; the way you act, the things you say...that's what i find interesting...so this is how i have decided to approach this project.
I seem to always find myself being too personal in projects where I'm let loose to think, but i don't think i could ever approach a project in an impersonal way...its not the way i work. I think there's always something more interesting when your looking at something that's been done sympathetically and i like the idea of a picture telling the reader a story about yourself; allowing them into your head without ever having to open your mouth.
