The riots at 30 Millbank

I intended on showing my support for the first protest against the rise in tuition fees, but i woke up unusually late and missed setting off with the rest of the gang. First thing i do in the morning is check the Guardian newspaper website, I'm not expecting anything, I'm not suspicious of anyone...

All over the news was these stories of riots in the centre of London, sorted.

I put on some clothes and ate a piece of bread, something like that, then i made my way to the chaos on my own. I was alone, but i wasn't really alone as the spirit of the protesting united us. I won't touch upon in much further, it didn't really connect with my print project until a week later when looking at some of the owl collages i had created.

They all looked awful angry and i had intended on creating character within them although at the time there was no purpose for their emotion. After witnessing the riots at 30 Millbank i wondered if i could create a mob of angry owls?

Here's some of the images i created, exploring the idea of owls as angry citizens being politically dissident.
