Whilst discussing my ideas, one of my peers suggested that these objects could be displayed in frames on the wall and presented in this way. I considered the idea, but thought more about how I wanted my work to be viewed in a different way than that.
I felt It would be more exciting to place these objects in different surroundings, which will completely transform the work by taking the object and taking away its meaning. I feel it is more important for the viewer to experience the work, rather than the work itself. By placing these larger scale objects in unexpected environments, I can subvert (take-out-of-context) which causes the viewer’s experience of the object itself and force them to reassess the situation.
My knowledge of photography played a huge part in this work. By using my objects as props for my photographs I was able to explore my ideas further through the use of another artist’s trait.
