3/ final print 'Time'

• This image explores the motif of time within the Murakami's novels, but also refers to the content of his memoirs 'What I talk about when I talk about running' in which he explains his relationship between running and writing, and his structured, healthy lifestyle. 
• His healthy lifestyle is represented through the outlined shapes of banana bunches, and my use of the colour green known to symbolise growth, nature, endurance and a universal signal for 'go' (referring to his passion for running). 
• The monoprinted clock containing stairs refers to how Murakami uses time in order measure improvement within his running. 
• I think the the diagonal composition of this image achieves a sense of the passing of time, and the simple shapes are interesting in the way they echoe the lines within monoprint and bitmapped photograph.
