Meanwhile (2012-14)
During the first half of my final year I focused on one piece of work, inspired by The Searchers (1956), looking at the Edwards family ranch. The aim was to create suspense in the build up to the Comanche raid, who went on to kill and rape the family, before burning the home down. Whilst Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) and company were off searching for the natives after another incident.
