The first thing I thought of was different ways in which time can be distorted. Fast forward, rewind, stopped and I tried to think of ways to portray this. It also made me think of things that are effected by time, which is pretty much everything, but it mainly made me think of living things aging or decaying. So my first sketch was of a young girl and a kitten playing in a rose garden, which had no real direction but I planned to work on it more and study the skeleton of a living animal such as a cat.

| Cat Skeleton |
 |
| Original idea for young girl and kitten. To show time passing older girl and cat in second image. |
 |
| New idea, with cat skeleton to emphasise how in the end we all become skeletons. With time distorted the cat is already a skeleton. |
 |
| Overall finished sketch. |
When researching other artists work regarding 'distorting time' it was hard to find anything that wasn't very surreal. Which I liked the idea of but I fund a lot of distorted clocks and wanted to come up with something a bit different to just a clock or hourglass that was distorted as I felt this was too obvious. I like the way the numbers on the clock are hovering above it in the image below. Like time is literally falling away.

An artist I looked at regarding style is an illustrator and artist Joanna Henly aka 'Miss Led'. Her work involves clean lines and I like the 'prettyness' of her work and the use of colour. She is influenced by fashion photography and 90s street art. Which is not really something I am aiming my work towards but I love the style and wanted it to influence my work for Olio.
