My Bangles

Here i wanted to experiment with how to display the bangles, i wanted to create atomiser instead of a sterile fixed bangle stand. I edited the photos to tweak the lighting so that the photo would highlight the colours and patterns on the materials. I also think how the  bangles fray makes them unique and for that reason by capturing a sharp photo communicates this idea.

Photographing my work

Once I create my head accessories I want to explore some portrait photography to get good quality, clean vibrant images. At the beginning of this project I started to document my work and I liked the relationship between material and the texture the hair created, therefore this an element i want explore further to capture the different textures in my work.



I want to get simple shots focusing on the head wrap that reflect the colours, patterns and texture of the selected material as the material its self will be an the most important factor due to its source, form and structure.

Postmodern Photography

This Images raises lots of issues, Questioning what is a photograph and what is a painting? Mixing the medias to communicate a new dialogue, why not? Whats the true form? Whats real? Its creating a opinion, it stirs a reaction therefore its though provoking and effective.

 Barbara Kruger

These photo text collarges by Barbara Kruger are iconic for there postmoderism values. This is another example of misxing up and experimenting with already existing images that fuel opinions of taste, value, materailism and sterotypes.

Do all four feet of a horse touch the floor whilst galloping?
20 photographs capturing the horses movement confirm the dont.

African Head Wraps

Male African head wraps are a symbol of wealth an social status, whereas the female head wraps prosperity and spirituality. The idea of head accessories as a symbolism of recognition i think is interesting for example, halos, crowns, hats and wraps. However I want to focus more on the materials that i use and how i can use old material re-create an African inspired head wrap. I want to follow the unwritten rules of postmodernism. No Rules, just a wide scope of creativity, recreating new art from the old.

With no rules, principles and the the questioning of reality postmodernism have created installations of madness that combine many materials. These instillation's involve photography, sculpture and design to create these imaginative, striking images. In particular I like how each instillation has depth by creating pin points figures in the middle of the images. The level of energy and movement these instillation's project with the still sculptures and bright colours is significant.

What to do with old clothes, recycle...

 Into beautiful creative pieces of art?







 

 I think these pieces are incredibly inspiring the level of imagination and application of colour, technique and material is stunning in these images. whether it is an correct use of old clothes is arguable but I think they are beautiful. I especially like how the clothes can still be identified as clothes not a odd scrap of material.

For my final pieces I want to progress from creating bangles out of old material and use ties or scarfs to create something new.

Another aspect of recycle clothes which I find interesting is that websites exist where you are paid per weight for your old clothes, your clothes are even collected...That's how easy it has become!
