Hidden things


After doing the arrivals task it got me thinking about how I could develop my ideas from this. I looked at arriving at New York it was overwhelming and had a big impact on the way I think about things and look at things.


After doing the arrivals task it got me thinking about how I could develop my ideas from this. I looked at arriving at New York it was overwhelming and had a big impact on the way I think about things and look at things.

It got me thinking about what I really know about the culture of this city, all I ever really knew was that it was an amazing city and a very big one, full of excitement, energy and inspiration. Then I started thinking about Manchester, the brief is about old school/ new school. I lived in this city and again knew little about it.

I was curious to find out about this city and see what I could uncover; attending several talks by speakers such as DJ David Haslam and Illustrator Adam Dant opened my eyes to the culture of this great city.

I started thinking about the idea of uncovering things from buildings and breaking up dimensions of a city. When walking around New York there was so many buildings that surrounded me but I never really thought about what went on inside the building or what they looked like. They all looked so similar from the outside but what did the interior of the buildings look like?

I found a connection between New York and Manchester and how both cities have so many huge buildings which surround us and small streets coming off from every direction.

I started taking photographs and exploring the streets of the Northern Quarter and hidden cracks in the small alleys and walls to see what I could uncover.
