"We spend our lives leaning forwards, focusing in. But, it’s only when we step back, that we begin to see the full picture. "
BACKGROUND STORY
POV (Points of View) is my latest collection. It stems from my fascination with media influence and propaganda. The collection examines our obsession with popularity and fame. Our opinions of famous individuals are dominated by the media’s influence - it becomes a lens through which we look into other peoples’ lives. The devices we use force us to lean in. Do we end up creating a false intimacy with images of people we don’t know because of how are forced to focus in?With the POV collection I’ve created a technique that means the images only make sense when you step back. What’s more it’s a technique that only works in the real world. It doesn’t replicate on a phone. It’s designed to provoke us to re-examine and question how well we know icons we thought we knew really well.
