Shannon Lea's work has been something that I found most interesting when doing initial research at the beginning of the Collide Project. Two different inks where used to created the printed version of the scene and neither could touch as phosphorescent ink would only glow if printed onto a white background. Therefore, both illustrations had to be built up around the other, together but entirely different. Lea has also created a digital version of this so the screen changes when the lights are turned off.
The one seen in day light shows what she wants for herself 10 years from now. She wants to be designing and concentrating on her craft, being a wife and a mother is something she does not consider. The image visible during the day shows her current ambitions and in the night she is faced with a future she doesn't want to be hers.
Her question to herself is will she still feel the same in 10 years to come. Will her ambitions and future turn out differently.
I like the exploration of materials use within this project. Lea has thought outside of the box which suggests her creativity as a designer.
