Norwich remembered and Final outcomes

These are my three outcomes for  the Remembered postcards. In each card their is a element of memory within them. For example the middle postcard has a extract from the 1935 Guide to Norwich.  Churches can be found all over Norwich and I remember seeing a mother carrying her child to the place of worship. In this postcard I wanted to convey the idea of innocence. the extract itself is a list of churches open to visitors. I believe it was extremely important to consider that memory and remembered are closely linked and by placing two of the same images against a certain time period is effective.

                                                      
 The first post card is titled "the bearded man of Norwich" I think this postcard is quite comical as it seems to be a common trend for the men of Norwich to grow a beard. Placing this man in Strangers hall creates a dialogue between the viewer and image about change? perhaps 200 years ago a man with a beard was also roaming the building. 

the final postcard on the right derives from both Norwich's once booming textile industry and the fabric store I visited. I have used a mixture of stitch and felting to recreate some of the textures I saw and felt in the store.
All 9 postcards

I decided to use a piece of board to present my work as I wanted the viewer to see the postcards as a journey through imagined, observation and remembered but also see it as a historical journey through Norwich.
