Genevieve Schwulst

Proposal:

My work aims to investigate the ongoing of everyday life. Through the routine-like aspects that take place within our day-to-day. This for the work frames it well , the initial and current theme is of everyday and how everyday can tell a narrative. The discussion of the conceptual meaning behind it. The first initial thought when seeing the style and composition was the ideas of anagogical modes , parables or biblical tales. (Frame of reference or inspiration is Gustave Dore)
