I have recently got involved in my classmate, Rachel Taylor’s project called Another Escape. This is a brand she is creating that will ultimately act as a showcase and creative platform for young practitioners.
She has asked a handful of us to produce an image that shows adventure and/or escape.
I have found that the majority of my inspiration comes from the objects around me. The little things in life that at first appear mundane, can take on new life and meaning when illustrated with intense detail. I feel that it is these little moments in life, often overlooked, which give us a method of escape.
As an escape from stress, even if its just for ten minutes, I like to have a cup of tea and a ‘couple’ of biscuits.I believe that most people would be able to relate to this every day, easy way to escape life.
An escape doesn’t have to be big.
The solution can be in the little things in life.
Therefore I came up with this piece. It demonstrates my continuing work with the biscuit theme that I started for Anorak Magazine, combined with my theory that we should acknowledge the little things we enjoy in life and indulge in these moments to find happiness.
