I can make a mess like nobody’s business
If ever there were an apt description of our time, it would be that we are the ‘mobile generation’, in every sense of the word. We are a people of movers, we are offered choice on so many levels. And, in this way, we are far removed — both in ideology and practice — from those generations before us, who were generally more static and certainly less transitory. ‘Option’ is a double-edged sword. It can bring uncertainty whilst also ensuring that life is never dull. We are an age of dreamers, of doers, and explorers. But is there a method to our madness or are we destined to be forever searching for the next great distraction? Only time, and that strange looking fortune teller down the road, will tell.

We’ve featured Autumn Whitehurst’s vector art many times over the past few years and checked in with her recently about work and play in New York City: ‘It’s dandy, thanks for asking. I’ve lived here for about a decade and I don’t get out into the city as much as I used to, don’t oblige myself to go see all the newest cultural happenings because there’s always something new going on, and yes I totally love that, but I’ve committed the last five years to my work and it’s made me a bit of a homebody’.
