This is a traffic island at the edge of my village. There is something alien about this area at night, although strangely comforting in its everywhereness.
I've tried using a photoshop effect on my line which I quite like. Does the non-place need to be those places as mentioned by Auge?
I'm in the process of sending an application to my local airport to contribute towards my final project. My aim until mid January is to be prolific with my drawing and continue to use the layout pad in exploring the possibility of producing a series of textless (or minimal) narratives.
'When driving for example, we experience much more than our five senses report. The whole car - or just the parts we see, feel and hear - is very much on our minds at all times.
The vehicle becomes an extension of our body. It absorbs our sense of identity. We become the car.
If one car hits another, the driver of the vehicle being struck is much more likely to say "Hey he hit me!".
Our identities and awareness are invested in many inanimate objects every day. our clothes for example, can trigger numerous transformations in the way others see us and in the way we see ourselves'.
