Railway Decay

Exploring is something I do well. I tend to take photographs of the most peculiar and unforeseen objects that nobody even knew existed. I believe that the natural decay of the objects is something of pure beauty; their unforeseen textures is what provides me with the many ideas and outcomes in my projects. After taking several photographs from the past weeks,  I have particularly captured railway decay. The train station is a place I am most days (uni, meeting friends, exploring the great city). I try not to look for things that inspire me, instead I let them come to me. That may sound silly, but I am a very visual person so looking all around me is something very mundane. Railway decay is something that just came to me one day. I thought why not do a project on something I see everyday. You make think this is an easy way of collecting research, however I have had many difficulties capturing the perfect photograph. The composition had to be incredibly clear as I turned them into screen prints. Although challenging in some respects, I thoroughly enjoyed capturing the textual qualities of railway decay. So far I have made a start on a collaboration of screen-prints in colours influenced by All Saints (my current project). After several days of living in the print room I have been overall successful. Eventually the most successful screen-prints will then then be printed out on a much larger scale. In terms of interior, I want to display my prints on the wall behind the counter in the All Saints stores. Hopefully everything will go to plan, and I will keep you updated on my progress.

In the mean time here are some of the screen-print images:
