For this workshop surrounding telling stories and producing work from the every day, we were tasked to generate artwork and visually present concepts inspired by newspapers and media. Personally, I quickly decided to shy away from the more harsh, shocking and emotive stories currently within the media and news, opting to choose a much more ironic, humorous and politically driven concepts in my work. In effect also adding elements of juxtaposition within my work that I can look to develop throughout my project through my ability to turn an area, which can be often overwhelming and distressing, into a much more light hearted and humorous approach.  Having flicked through some newspapers, I was drawn to the headings and stories surrounding British politics and in particular Boris Johnson.
