Places & Spaces
Our homes are sacred, reflections of who we are. This photobook "Places & Spaces" captures personal connections between my home and myself. My home is in South Auckland.
This is collection of photographs, this photobook is a heartfelt exploration of how our spaces are filled with so much meaning, creating environments that nurture our souls and mirror our innermost selves. For me my home is filled with items that reflect my culture, family history and religon to me this the sacred act of making a home.
"Places & Spaces" is perfect for young adults who find beauty in every day. It is a tribute to the homes that shelter us, shape us.

Week 10
Skills learnt:
My main skill I wanted to work on was actually learning how to use a camera, I know enough to take a photo but I am heavily reliant on photoshop and Lightroom to get the final look. I want to be able to just use my camera instead of other factors.
I feel like this assignment I have had to use more practical effects such as a projector to get the look I wanted and this time I haven't had to use photoshop and I only had to slightly edit the photos in Lightroom which I am happy about.
Printing:
I want to print a book, a spiral-bound book
Planned Deliverables:
Fix Tumblr blog, update EVERYTHING
Find a book binding place
PRINT BOOK/PRINT FULL SIZE PRINT

Brigid Berlin
Brigid Berlin, an artist prominent in the New York art scene during the 1960s and 70s, continuously challenged conventional boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on the artistic landscape. Her extensive body of work spanning photography, collage, performance, audio recordings, and film reflects a remarkable dedication to artistic expression and experimentation.
Berlin's upbringing as a privileged girl born into high society adds a layer to her work. Despite the opportunities afforded by her background, Berlin chose to “go against the grain”, rejecting societal norms and embracing her queer identity and feminism. This defiance against societal expectations of her time plays a huge reason in why I find her art-ventures so intriguing.
A distinguishing feature of Berlin's work is her ability to blend "high and low culture," effectively challenging artistic elitism. By incorporating elements from everyday life alongside traditional artistic mediums, she created art accessible to a broad audience. This inclusive approach democratized art while critiquing the exclusivity of the art world.
Among Berlin's diverse portfolio, her double-exposure photographs stand out for me visually. These images, often featuring vibrant flowers on top of quite dull-looking portraits, are captivating for viewers with their striking composition.
Berlin's commitment to authenticity is evident throughout her work, resonating deeply with viewers on a personal level. Each piece reflects herself, in an authentic and very real way.
Authentic, that is what I can take away from whenever I view pieces of her work. And I believe that relates to me personally because that is what I like to capture, authenticity. Moments in everyday life mixed with a lot of collage work, I want to be able to mix my graphic design background with photography. I felt like a good way of mixing the two would be to have it shown more in a digital collage way, using bright colours, and double exposure, all things used to create something from different pieces but coming together as one cohesive piece.
Just like the photo series of Brigid Berlin’s polaroids I am wanting to have the different works, using certain things over and over again, the same motifs seen all throughout the different pieces. I am wanting to create three images that work as a cohesive piece together.
I want to add that every aspect of these digital collages are important aspects of my life today. From the use of self portraits of me with no makeup and no editing, to the use of the lightstreaks used from failed film rolls, even to the background that is almost unrecognisable but it’s flowers from my backyard. Essentially all decisions made will be stemming from my own genuine personal experiences.
For my project, “Floating” I want this to be a body of work that people can come and just see. I will want to put myself as authentically as I possibly can, I will do this with my self portraits, the use of colours, the use of textures, and the use of text. But I still want to give the viewer a chance to come and interpret it their own way as a creative who is still finding their footing on what my “style” is as an artist/designer/photographer, I want these three pieces to be a stepping stone onto something bigger or something that can help me get one more step closer to what I want my “final destination” to be.
