I

In this image I am working with a combination of two images––an image of a pneumatic postal tube and an image of a classic french press. I am intrigued by the visual similarities between the two forms and am beginning to see a way in which the two can be integrated visually and metaphorically.
To further develop this composition, I plan to multiply variations on the french press image and compose them so that they themselves become the pneumatic tubes. The french presses will vary––one with a lid fully pressed down, another partway, and another without a lid and with a newspaper rolled up inside, to symbolize the ritualistic nature of coffee, the daily press, and traditionally, of postal documents.
