Lorna Jane Newman
I have been exploring Magic Realism, normally used in literature and film, as a starting point for my project. I have looked at the main themes used in this movement; the possibility that an extraordinary event can take place within the context of a mundane reality, and its use of symbolism. My main influence has been from the book One Hundred Years of Solitude, written by Garcia Márquez in 1967, where humans and everyday objects have the capability to levitate. Transcending natural empirical realities, and especially flying, are popular themes of Magic Realism and I have used these ideas in my work. I am exploring the use of symbolism, also a main theme of the genre, looking at different colours and there meanings.
