It was asked of us to create a ‘passport’ however the information given as to what that might entail was minimal. This allowed room for us to be as personal or impersonal as we wished and gave each of us a great amount of freedom.

For me the passport began with a booklet slightly smaller than an A5 sheet of paper, made up of four pages. This was overall unsuccessful, the colour scheme didn’t work as it wasn’t reflective of my personality and this fuelled the childlike appearance of the work. I would say it bares resemblance to a scrapbook a child might make at a craft club.

I then created a much smaller booklet in the same style as the first, in this I included tracings on acetate and masking tape from images on my phone. The reverse of this booklet hides song lyrics with a personal meaning behind them as well as an explanation intended to be concealed. I hoped to explore how the visibility of the material used for tracing could disguise the true characters of those depicted.

Currently I am working on a passport that includes drawings without the use of trace, information on the relevance of the sketches is also specified. I hope to include song lyrics and poetry in this booklet as I have with the previous two to help express my feelings.  I feel as though my next step could be leaning more towards something three-dimensional, influenced by some of the work we all looked at collectively, which was produced by colleagues of mine.
