Jenna Morrissey + Rachel Harley’s Diary #5

Jenna Morrissey and Rachel Harley, a young creative team from Grey Sydney, have competed in the Print category of the Cannes Young Lions competition. The pair write exclusively for CB.

Considering we went to see a chat on eradicating self-doubt yesterday, seeing David Droga today was kind of counter intuitive. For someone who is no stranger to giving themselves a good pat on the back, he’s made me feel like a mere mortal.

Let’s say, the Tap Project – I’m trying to avoid the word ‘inspired’ so as not to sound like Lorna Jane singlet – but that is just so simple, it’s amazing. We’ll admit, it came out ten years ago, so neither of us were aware of it before. But we’re sure the vast majority of the world would be happy to pay $1 for tap water, which could eradicate some pretty huge worldwide issues. I mean I pay $10 for sparkling water just to make myself feel fancy. And that works. Every time.

He chatted a little about his creative process, which was brilliant yet erratic. This made us feel better, as mine is essentially like a cat throwing up a fur ball. Regardless, despite the amazing people we’ve seen all week, hands down our favourite. I said I wouldn’t say it, but we were really inspired. Hard not to be.

Afternoon was a delight otherwise – went for a walk, and dabbled in some charcuterie and beer. One can only drink so much rosé until one craves something else.

The festival is winding down but it seems like no one is winding down with it. So now we’re off to go truffle-hunting for dinner, much like a pig, only more aggressive about it.
