ASSIGNMENT: Final Folio: ‘Vinyl Revival’
COMMENT: I’m working on my year-long final creative project: a series of vinyl record covers. These are 12x12inch snippets of eclecticism exploring themes of transience, absence and consumerism.
This image is from the first ‘work-in-progress’ instalment and was informed by the colours of the Pink Floyd album ‘Dark Side of the Moon’. It reflects my feeling that music has become somewhat transient – it’s easy to dismiss when you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get it. We devour music, but often don’t consider it to be a physical product, preferring to download it as digital content. In doing so, we often miss out on the tactile experience the artist might have intended us to have.
