I feel my eyelashes and contact lenses are working well placed on these boards for everyday. However I still have a bundle of eyelashes and contact lenses I began collecting earlier on before I decided on this board idea. I still want to do something with them to display them so they can be seen out of a pot. I don’t want them to be contained in anything as I feel that loses the effect if they’re secure and contained. The true abject cannot be seen. I want them to be in the open in a space like the contacts and eyelashes on my boards, invading the viewers space.
I decided I wanted to have them all scattered or arranged on a clear shelf. So from a piece of perspex I had, I asked the technician to help me make a shelf as I didn’t really know how to go about it, apart from to attach the shelf to two brackets. Reuben suggested I could use the heat machine which heats up the perspex allowing it to be bent into the desired shape. So one half would be the shelf and one half screwed to the wall.
I’m not sure as of yet whether I will even use this shelf but felt it could work effectively so is something I will try out once in the space.
Another idea I have had is what about if I arrange my eyelashes and contacts in the cabinet. What effect would this give? I did touch on this idea earlier this year with scattering contact lens cases, contacts and hair in there. However I feel perhaps I could explore this a bit further now I have a clearer idea of what I really want.
