I first initially began collecting my train tickets just as a habit throughout the summer as I was travelling backwards and forwards to work. I had no real plans to use these as work, however with the vast collection I was gathering and the researching I was doing for my literature review, the idea of actually using them for work became an option.
I realised I could in fact create work from these as they were quickly becoming a collection. After the summer, back in the studios, I decided to arrange these in what order was natural, not putting in any influence over why I did it. This created a large image of repetitive patterns, colours and shapes, which could be carried on for however many rows I decide, or depending on if I set a time limit from when these tickets were collected. It has a very regimental approach with this systematic ordering, similar to that of Hirst’s. This is an element I would like to push further in my work as I feel it has strong aesthetics when used in display.
