What has changed from my ideas with the Chinese & English foods and drinks?
I have given some ideas with careful thought and I have decided that fr now, I will try to print these images out to see what these objects will look like in crast to the actual real objects. I feel that these images are more powerful when it comes to displaying the objects in couples alone and away from the other objects. To display them in couples would bring in the relation of me and my girlfriend and the part about separation of couples from far distances coming together again.
Relating to Xenia Hausner and Ai WeiWei
In a way this idea of contrasting the foods and drinks really does relate back to the two artists where they use their cross culture influences in painting or objects. This idea of my cross-culture foods and drinks is to not only represent my girlfriend and me but also other Chinese and English people as well. When the two cultural foods and drinks come together it then brings in the juxtaposition where you are contrasting the two relations together.
This message that I am trying to bring forward not only is to try and show that the two cultures share a resemblance but the main narrative is to address the absence or loss of my girlfriend where we are meant to be together.
What is the next plan of action?
On Monday I will try to print these images out onto some nice photographic matt finish paper and see how the objects work on there. If they work quite well, I may try to produce a human size one where you have the objects of foods and drinks in human size that would represent our bodies a lot more. But i will see first how the normal size photographs will work and go from there.
