Discovering my love for documentary illustration this year has been amazing. It's made me want to chase a creative career for the first time. Finally having a context in which to place my work, that works for my practice and my values has been the most enlightening part of the year.
However, as discussed in PPP I want to make a difference with my documentary work, which is why I am looking at this as a warm up for the real thing now.
I have applied to volunteer in Greece this summer with an organisation that work with refuguees, and from their reply I will be venturing out there sometime in August, which I am really excited about.
I want to document what the Timber project are doing out there, and the refugee crisis, in order to shine a light onto it for others.
I really believe that I need to experience the things I want to document. So as hard as they may be, I think its a really important thing to do.
Im really excited about the future, and will try my best to make a difference through image making as best I can.
For now I need to keep making documentary work, keep practising. I need to come up with various ways of documenting, a system perhaps. I need to feel really comfortable doing what I do when I go out there.
