This week...

With this week being a Holliday from college I have been spending a lot of time researching, photographing and visiting some locations for my degree show brief. My first thoughts for this project was to look into small rural communities and find out what main industry, if any, drives them now. I also wanted to look at some of the perceptions we have of the countryside and how lots of the stereotypical views we hold of the quaint little country village/hamlet are based in the past. Some new paintings I have seen of such locations don't even seem to have street signs in them let alone a car! I have some photographs from a few of the locations I visited but will upload them in a separate post.
