I'm working on a bunch of ideas that will form my FMP and become part of my end of year exhibition. In the same way that WB Yeates used the idea of impending Armageddon as a veil for his fears about the climate in post first world war Europe in his poem 'The Second Coming' or the way Johnny Cash used Biblical imagery and references as he pondered his own mortality in 'When the Man Comes Around' I wanted to create a quest for signs of the return of Christ, of an impending Apocalypse gathered by a fictitious third person as a means to deal with my own reflections on ageing, on the world i will pass on to my children and on the daily grind of washing the pots.
My aim is to explore the idea of the Book of Revelations becoming a cautionary tale through literal photographic interpretation and the subliminal fingering of our primal concerns whilst using a pallet of colours symbolic of the key factors i will explore e.g. white=mortality, black=death/oil, red=Armageddon, Apocalypse.
