studio proposal aims...
My ideas for this year are to develop the small sculptures that I started to explore in summer. For me, I believe that the photographs gained are the most important part, however, the sculptures need to be of a high standard of making to ensure that my photographs look as realistic as they can be.
I am going to continue with the theme of missing people, and after doing a war piece I want to look at people who have been publically killed. Currently in the news many reporters are being killed and people be taken and I am thinking about making my photographs and interest about them – creating somewhat of a whole circle.
I want more to come from my photographs as at the moment when you look at them all you see is a place and you might not know more about it. I want there to be a story. After reading about peoples ‘last meals’ on death row, I think that I would like to catalogue items, next to my photographs (which will be BIG), of that persons last thing i.e. tooth brush, key… What I want to gain from this are the ideas of perhaps this is a forensic report/ enquiry into their death or is it a stalkers collection leading to their death. I want there to be a sense of ambiguity – hopefully to let my viewer’s imagination take over.
As of yet I do not know whether the sculptures of the dead peoples last place will be of real people or fictitious. It might be more interesting to create these lives and make them seem as real as possible.
