As part of my display for the degree show, I also want to have a mirror that I have collaged. I’m beginning to build up an idea in my head of how I want my final display to be, when I have finished my dollshouse I am going to start on this mirror I picked up from a second hand shop.
I have collaged a vacuum formed face that I came across a year or so, again with eyes. The 3D shape of the face with the eyeballs on it is quite interesting. I intend to cut most the backing away, attach it to the mirror and then collage the whole thing.
I love using found objects in my work, not only does each object add to different mediums I use but also I hate waste and love to re use or recycle things. The mirror is one of the objects we use almost without thinking about it every single day. We look in it and judge ourselves and it looks back at us. By putting the eyes on the mirror I am trying to show the feeling of being scrutinised and judged, even if it is only by ourselves when we look in the mirror.
