Primary Nostalgia

  • Ellie Bassford

About halfway through lockdown and, after a rather unexpected fews hours of watching a documentary about the Bauhaus movement, I started a personal series to experiment with my own style of Illustration. I'm thinking of naming it 'Primary Nostalgia': These depictions are taken mostly from candid, imperfectly perfect 35mm film that me and my friends have accumulated over the years of being in such close proximity; in the glow of University study and shared accommodation. I think I will be continuing this project indeterminately, as it's one of most relaxing ways I combat my own loneliness being not nearest, to my dearest, so to speak. And who doesn't love a good primary palette?
