Valve.

The end result of my project was a SERIES of sketchbooks and mini-projects that had a relationship to everything and each other. Everything is in a different media, but not exactly pen/pencil/paint etc...

One of these was the VALVE project (my favourite), where I took the object around with me, photographing it in focus and the space around it. I have used a film camera, which has produced excellent photos colour-wise, I also took a lot of other interesting photos, ones slightly distorted by the light, or strangely exposed, which I have worked with in my DRAWING series. As I have just acquired a new film camera for my birthday, this is something I will definitely be exploring...

I wanted to think about how and why I could use an object, and I quite like how there is always something familiar throughout these photos, which without, I think they could appear quite odd. I wanted to focus on parts that are more mundane or the overlooked aspects of where I was, and so hopefully the result is a little unheimlich..
