Chrissie Macdonald, a London based illustrator and art director. She does a lot of collaborative projects working with both illustrators, animators and with art installations. I am particularly drawn to her analogue approach to making art. She collects everything from train tickets to cinema tickets to exhibition tickets and uses these objects in her artwork. She is inspired by found objects and ephemera and when she is struggling for inspiration will go to her collection box. A lot of my work is shape driven and I am so fascinated by objects and how they relate with humans - something which I am trying to reflect in this specific project, the idea of objects connecting to a human forms and becoming one. I like how she has used characters to emphasise a fantasy world and story by reducing the size of things and enlarging objects, altering perspective. The colours correspond so well with the characters and instantly become more important because you are drawn to them. With my personal project, I want the objects to become part of me and not necessarily stand out so much as the whole concept behind it is the shapes are a part of my interior personality.
