Chloe Harris: AMAZON PRINT SERIES: a LOCKDOWN PERSPECTIVE 2021 #2
From the line stacking parcels, you can see Lorries arrive, people taking them to be sent along the lines. This perspective is from where Me and others work as “scanners”. It assumes viewers as fellow workers, looking over at “Inbound” and the boxes to arrive. The composition introduces a panoramic view of this.
The elementary shapes produce an intense interaction yet keep their singularity within the composition; allowing the shapes to be refigured when viewing the print. It performs the same function that we scanners at amazon have.
This composition is more open than other prints and implies the scale of the LEEDS AMAZON I work at. it also suggests the feeling of responsibility for the small but significant role I have in this lockdown.
