I have decided to call my collection "Safe?". This name might be temporary if I come up with something I like better, but it fits the idea I have right now. I know that I want to have images of my items(either drawn, photographed, or some other representational form, maybe even the actual items) arranged on paper to spell out words that describe actions that the items can perform. Instead of only looking at the dangerous side (ex: cut, shatter, bash), I am also going to use words like protect, shield, safe. I want to focus on the idea that something can be seen in more than one way depending on the persons experience. A knife may be dangerous, harmful and scary to one person, but in someone elses experience it may have been life-saving. The exact details of the whole thing are pretty vague right now, but I'm really excited to work everything out in the finished product.
Madison-
ReplyDeleteIt would be neat to play off the display strategy presented in class with the real/bronzed rock reproduction. If you displayed your objects themselves and then next to each a photo/painting reproduction of the object being used in the "safe" way to juxtapose the relationship between the two different uses of the same object. It might also be cool to have you add some objects that are supposed to be used for "safety" along with a photo/painting of the "unsafe" use of the same object...cant wait to see how this evolves!

Hi Madison. Sounds like a great idea. I like the idea particularly of photographing or drawing all of the objects. Please let me know if you have any questions as your work progresses.
