I have scanned my poetry book which was a gift from my Granddad when I younger, as a child I aspired to this, within this book I have personalised it, it's almost like a diary creating a sense of nostalgia.

 I have used childish bright colour pallet here to capture the essence of time within the subject, as this portrays myself as a child in Nursery. I have used organic media which creates a distortion within the piece creating a almost a blur suggestive of the human memory.

Here I have experimented with the layering of different materials,which have a translucent element creating a sense of time and history. I have placed tissue paper over the surface of my Granddads book which reacts almost as a distortion representing time.

I have used delicate subtle media here, which has created a spiritual atmosphere, suggestive of the afterlife. The surface of the material has captured the light reflecting it creating a sense of sensitivity within the piece. It almost captures an essence of nostalgia reflecting my memory.

I have been influenced by Joseph Beuys within this piece as he used coffee to create his figurative drawings,  I feel this has captured a sense of age and history. It has has layered up on the figures, creating a sense of distorted almost highlighting changes within time.
