For my first project this semester I have decided to create some artwork, possibly painting, inspired by Truman Capote's semi-autobiographical novel 'Other Voices Other Rooms'.

The novel is set in the deep south in America and is loosely based on Capote's experiences moving from New Orleans to the rural south in search of his absent Father. He ends up staying at Skully's Landing a crumbling mansion in the wilderness with his Father's new wife and her cousin the tragic cross-dressing Randolph.

The book is filled with the most beautiful imagery and has a wonderful eerie sense of atmosphere and decaying grandeur.

Images to follow, I can't wait.
