Everyday Collision and the Collages of Andrew Brown

I was very excited to view Andrew Brown's work and his series of black and white composites.  Both the Roding Riviera - reflections as well as his Neuropolis work. I relate and am informed by Andrew's work as he mentioned the images expressing meeting divers needs and ever-changing environment.  In a case study interview with Falmouth University he uses the phrase, "collision of everyday activity," (2020) and using the channel mixing with the collages to explore the interaction of the changing built environment with the natural environment.

"In making my images, I have sought to create a lyrical response to the developments, in the poetic sense of a personal, emotional response to a particular place at a particular time as opposed to a narrative approach, which attempts to give an analytic account over time or across settings, or to 'tell a story'" (Brown 2020)

This will help me identify my own crisis points with my work, though the settings and objects of my images are very different. How do I give meaning to my own visual narrative of the divers needs of my family life and the everyday collision of quarantine.
