MA Graphic Design and Art Direction
Obsession 2:22
Growing up with a sibling with autism has given me a keen interest in mental health and most particularly the way society views it. My aim during this last part of the year has been to celebrate certain aspects of being autistic rather than trying to ‘find a cure’ or hide away from the problems that it brings. An obsessive personality is definitely a behaviour that goes hand in hand with the condition and I decided to explore the positives it brings, from an artistic point of view. Repetition of activities at very specific times of day… having to brush your teeth at exactly 8:17 every day for instance, would be an example of an obsessive behaviour but I have taken this idea to see what kind of photographs I could collect if I followed such strict rules myself. I chose the time 2:22pm and everyday for a month I would snap whatever was in my field of vision and the strictness of this meant I captured some fabulous imagery I have collected here for the show.
