Stress...

An idea came to me one evening to try and visually represent the feeling of stress. Everybody has a million and one things going on in their lives at any one point, and while it is easy to see clearly when focusing on one thing at a time, everything gets a bit jumbled up and 'messy' when there are more and more issues to focus on simultaneously.
So I took 4 standard images, each representing a different aspect of everyday urban life; Family, Work, Money/Bills and Travel.
Each of the images are singularly clear and easily identifiable but when layered on top of each other they become something else.


 These images were created pretty simply by photocopying the acetates layered on top of each other in different ways. The images have transformed into a harsh, aggressive, confusing disarray.



 Here the images are mounted in foam board.
