Living History
“We are not makers of history. We are made by history.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
This project, given to me by Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard, was centred around ‘living history’. Living history is the idea that when we touch something, we become a part of its history. This phrase resonated with me, so I decided to create these prints from a collection of wax texture rubbings I took from various places around the dockyard.
I wanted to see what my design could look like on various merchandise. These are the outcomes I produced.
Another colour variant of my design. I opted for a Navy Blue to keep with the naval theme.
Potential hoodie merchandise screen printed with my design.
This is my 'Living History' as an A3 print.
