All The Time

All The Time by Samantha Humphreys
I am Very proud that Mark Owen has selected me as a runner up for my recent submission to his design brief on Talenthouse
My piece was inspired by recent projects and my general outlook on life.

For the majority of us, a satisfied life consists of constant deadlines, constraints, rules, boundaries and a general acceptance that life, sometimes isn’t fair. However we choose to live our lives, we must take time to breath and appreciate what we have and focus on the positive. We must teach this to our children.

I was Inspired by a quote I was given on a 21st birthday card, in 1993

” As you walk through the garden of life, don’t forget to stop and smell the roses”

I have since lived by that advice.

 

It’s A Matter of Trust

We shouldn’t be taught that life is perfect.

There’s No Walls….

Over the summer, I became aware of how the status updates and comments on my friends Facebook pages affected my mood. I then started thinking, if adults were affected in this way then how would young people cope with it? seeing as they in many cases are dealing with several hundred “friends” and their updates, notifications and comments all at once.
How can we deal with being alone and yet crowded at the same time?

Birthplace

This weekend I returned to Liverpool, the place of my birth for a family party. I also visited the Tate Gallery at the Albert Dock which is a key place in my childhood and holds many memories.

In My Head

I am currently exploring how childhood influences shape our future. I had my childhood through the 1980s and have been reliving the memories.
