The True Italy?


Photo's from the south of Italy - Naples. A poorer, grittier area than any other parts we visited, but very much the 'real' Italy; sweltering heat, dust, cars honking their horns, huge doughy pizza's, ancient buildings with paint peeling walls, cafes' scattered down narrow streets - a hive of local activity everywhere and (not including us, of course) not a tourist in sight!



 














A Journey through Culture and Time

Here I have created a magazine spread  for my 'Journeys' project, where I looked at 'A Journey Through Culture and Time'. I combined collage and drawing to create six individual pages starting with the Victorian Era, moving through to Japonism, British 1920's, Hollywood 1960's, and lastly, a double page spread of culture within Africa.
I love cutting images/text from magazines, photos and newspaper, and playing around with bright colours and textures to create visually exciting and intriguing collages!








Snapshots of Rome
