Journey Research Book

As part of LCC's Design & Rhetoric unit, I created this research and experimentation book.

Merlin Coverley's 'Psychogeography' was the starting point of my investigation. The first and most prominent aspect of the study of psychogeography is the activity of walking; seeking to overcome the process of 'banalisation' by which everyday experience of our experiences becomes one, drab monotony.

Psychogeographers seek to share a perception of the city as a site of mystery and to reveal the true nature that lies under the flux of everyday life.

Using one of Jules' Muji London handkerchiefs, I embroidered a week's worth of journeys. Red indicates a bus journey, orange cycling, pink the Hammersmith and City Line etc...

Kaleidoscope Hat

I questioned how much of the surrounding world we take for granted. How could I awake people's consciousness to the streets they regularly pace?

Wearing the Kaleidoscope Hat, you're forced to see your surroundings in a new light. Well, at least a new angle.

St.Peter Port Small Car Parking Scheme

St. Peter Port, Guernsey.
As part of the Road Transport Strategy, the Environment Department has introduced a small car parking scheme that provides dedicated preferentially located parking spaces for small cars in the centre of St. Peter Port. The Department wishes to encourage the use of smaller vehicles in the Island as they can bring environmental benefits and are better suited to their narrow roads

Me

Summer of 2004 - part of the trilogy that I drew for Tash for her 18th. I loved the pleats in dress, and the combination of yellow and brown. I finished these drawings on the Isle of Wight at Harriet's grandparents' house in Seaview.

Tash!

For her 18th birthday back in 2003 - how I imagine she would grow up - super glamorous and in turquoise.
