Chloe Harris: AMAZON PRINT SERIES: a LOCKDOWN PERSPECTIVE 2021 #3
“STREAM SENT”
This print depicts where workers stand collecting parcels from one of the belts. The belt is an economic current, with a consistency that my prints in the Series express. It’s always moving , and at busy times, this same “Keep going” mind set Is one you have to keep when taking boxes.
Working in this area, the many people give Amazon a sense of community and thriving productivity. Being In employment with Amazon and part of its success at this time is enjoyable, compared to the worry experienced from closures and jobs as a whole that the lockdowns alternatively bring. There are many workers but the job can sometimes be isolating. Limited chat at busy times makes you focused, becoming part of the function and service. This print Suggest this quality, with figures obscured and mechanised, as well as the impending wait before starting a busy shift. Looking up after being posted to your line and booth gives a sense of perspective, and is a reminder of that feeling in the significance of the role you play during lockdown.
