POSTSECRET

"Postsecret is an amazing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a Postcard".

I got this book for christmas, and couldn't put it down until I had finished it. I imagined it to be quite light hearted, and filled full of funny secrets, but actually there were alot of secrets that were deep, moving and extremely sad.

This project is completed and continued by the community, it hold's thousands of secrets all of which are illustrated by the one whose secret is being sent in. What appealed to me is the freedom in which any means of illustration can be, and has been used, creating a diverse range of artwork.

It got me thinking, along the lines of how this type of project could be expanded and the ways that illustration could be used and presented. I am aiming to use illustration in a three dimension, and using locations other than the web or the studio to present my work, hopefully working at the current boundaries of the discipline and pushing them further.
