The "pick me up" exhibition was enlightening, inspiring, beautiful, moving and very very relevant! .......It was just amazing. There i said it.I suddenly felt a burst of inspiration and just wanted to go back to Chelsea and finish my own designs.
The reasons it was so relevant- 1. Stylistically - the illustrations were all very eerie, odd and many of them reminded me of the imagery I was trying to achieve
2. The content- many illustrations were mad mad worlds - one even was inspired by Calvino's invisible cities and was practically identical to my "urban mountain"collage.
3- I even saw one image that was inspired by exactly the same concept I had had for the book project- book anatomy.
4- I saw right at the end some mini 3 D worlds that were perfect inspiration for my box.
Then I went to college and finished most of my collages.
The book is officially become my place of refuge. The places i imagine existing in my thoughts and day dreams. Even if they have been stylised they are still fairy accurate to the reveries.
For example when I wrote the reverie of going to the city London( and the rabbits attacking me) and this one inspired the urban mountains. Then the forests are very accurate forests I imagined after going to wales and then watching sleeping beauty.... I still need to give more details of all of the reveries and the inspirations but to be fair they are all in my sketchbook .....Oh I don't know.
So about the box... the box has become a little taster of what a 3D reverie world might look like.I can't wait to start building it ! I have all the parts... just have to put them together now.I also need to bind the book this weekend and redesign my hand in and all the general paper work. GONNA BE FUN.
