This week I had a chance to actually watch my television and watched television documentary Katie Piper: The Science of Seeing Again, I have previously seen her story and charity work she has done and this documentary particularly fascinated me. In the sulfuric acid attack Katie was subjectedto in March 2008her face was left heavily scarred with third degree burns, however during the same incident she lost vision in her left eyeand in recent months has had eye tissue from the cornea of an anonymous male donor donated in order for her to be able to see again.
This documentary really fascinated me and its amazing how life changes so drastically and one person can provide the power of sight for somebody as unfortunate as Katie Piper. I am very interested in how our eyes work and the idea that Channel Four can provide knowledge of this without having to be a scientific program, but simply of how it is a life changing event.
This week I bought a book of an illustrator I follow on Tumblr his name is Lee Crutchley and he has put all of his jottings, lyrics he admires and sayings into a book called Quoteskine Volume One. It's printed in color and he has individually scanned every one in. I really like his work and the messages behind it he uses clever color techniques to be able to make people see exactly what he wants you to. His art is really interesting and simple drawings are a great way to be able to establish yourself with a particular style.
After looking at Lee's work I would really like to incorporate text / lyrics imagery against some of my photography because as well as being able to have my photo to look at the words add depth to the photograph giving it a better understanding and adds to the understanding of the photo I have produced.
