Description

Ivy and Clara didn’t really pick up much of the different culture, same life aspect but their interest in the pictures more than made up for it. At the book's conclusion, the family in Sydney can be seen enjoying their new purchase together while the Moroccan family are surfing the internet.

I’ve explored building up my collages in layers to achieve a sense of space and depth within the works. But for the elderly, the superstitious and the traditional, they serve a vital purpose: they are protectors against the evil eye, bringers of good luck and bountiful harvests. The side of the book to the left featuring the boy in Australia is more fast paced and exciting because of all the people, the cars, and the hustle and bustle of the city that they are a part of.Although the illustrations are more traditional, the contrast between the two cultures are striking.

The simple truth is that even with all these differences, in the ways that really matter, we are all the same. In this work, it is important to have each character wearing the same coloured garments throughout, so they can easily be identified: particularly as I often show just hands and arms and the character’s colour is the only thing that identifies them. It is a wordless picture book that speaks volumes about culture – both similarities and differences.

Also in promoting the work, when an Australian image is shown, we have stipulated that its Moroccan equivalent is shown alongside it. Page by page, we experience the lives of two little boys - one from an urban family in Sydney, Australia, the other from Morocco. Even though my story has no words, the visuals still read in these different ways for each language. The backgrounds of the images are mostly blank spaces, making the images seem much more cavernous and helping the reader focus on the subjects.

Be smarter than me, be more like Ivy, she can figure out how to open it, see: It opens from the middle out… very tricky. I also like that the book centers around family life: eating together, working on projects together, doing chores as a family and going on outings together. It was this that decided me to stay and explore this area further, rather than travel further south: it has all the ingredients I am looking for! One of these is usually the woman’s wedding scarf, the colours and design of which signify the tribe she is part of. When Islam arrived with the armies of Arabia in the 7 th century, the Berbers became Muslims and remain so today.She has stayed up all night to finish weaving a carpet for her husband to take to the local souk (market) to sell. Great idea for the way the book opens; insulting message of poverty and wealth distribution and people's worth of work.
