This project aims to celebrate and take a look beyond the beautiful imagery of the social media site Pinterest, and give the Photographers and Artists creating the featured imagery some attention.There has been a lot of discussion surrounding the grey area of posting other peoples intellectual property on Pinterest without giving proper credit. Even though one of the main aspects of Pinterest is the ability to go to the original source of the media, Pinterest users or “Pinners” rarely check the links connected to the images they see in their news feed.

Writing Dirty is a collection of erotic stories that I sourced from an online blog called "Writing Dirty" written by Jack Stratton. I wanted this monograph to be very tactile and textural. I used mine and other people's body parts to make prints on paper.

This monograph was designed for a self directed project in print publication. The only requirement for this project was to create a book on a single subject of your choosing. I chose to create a retrospective of the decade between 1940 and 1950 through the personal photographs of the people who lived it, my grandparents, Daniel and Beatrice Clark. An incredibly tumultuous decade historically and personally for the Clarks, they were married in 1943, separated by war from 1944 through to 1946, reunited at the end of that year, and finally able to start life as a married couple in 1947. The book matches photographs from the personal albums of Bea Clark with historical text and quotes from the decade.
