Reflective Writing

The brief 'The Place We're In' made me think of places we daily traverse and pass. We are constantly moving and changing destinations without necessarily realising this, and may miss certain buildings or areas which we would quite like otherwise. This is the beginning point that I would like to explore further in this project.

I first decided to note and sketch down what I see daily, things that stand out to me or have been engraved in my memory. These tended to be signs, people, noises from trains and buses, displays and modes of transport. I really liked the idea of routines, the cycle we repeat daily and only occasionally will make changes to adapt to circumstances that will alter these.

I also liked the idea of important places, for example historical buildings, monuments, statues etc that are all around cities and towns we live in or travel to. Yet, a lot of them are hidden or built around which means many people are oblivious to what important and beautiful history surrounds us. I would maybe like to look further into this, and explore this contrast of behaviour.
