Transforming the Everyday

To find inspiration for my new project, titled 'Transforming the Everyday', I decided to take a walk down Camden high street, home of the weird and wonderful. During my walk, I stumbled upon a lovely little antiques shop, with an over sized, white wooden rocking chair on its roof. It was in this shop that my passion for all things old and lost was revived. I was immediately drawn to the power of these objects, seemingly ordinary and mundane, but with an undeniable faint glow of a time gone by, of secrets of the life of it's previous possessors. These were not mere plates and trunks and mirrors and tables, these were living creatures, telling stories of their adventures, of what the places they had been and the people they had been loved by, if one only cared to listen.
