My pieces which I have collected from each day containing, a used make-up wipe, contact cases and lenses, hair and eyelashes, I do feel could work well in my degree show. They show collection, my daily routine, repetitiveness and pattern.
In my tutorial Tuesday I spoke to Jane about them. While I do feel they could be effective I need to keep collecting them and displaying them in my space to see how they work. I think I was struggling with not knowing what to do with them as I had only two days worth at this point. Because of the fragile state of the eyelashes and how hard they are to spot and easy to lose, I didn’t really know how to attach them onto my wall, so the viewer could still see the eyelashes but also attached securely. I also would need remove them nearer the time for the degree show if used without damaging them. The only thing of which I had on hand was masking tape. It did the job of attaching the eyelashes with ease. However it’s not exactly the nicest looking think to be stuck to the wall.
Jane and I spoke about how about if I attached them to a frame or another material so they were contained in one. This would therefore mean I could superglue the eyelashes and hair on and I wouldn’t need blue tac and masking tape, which would hopefully make it looker more aesthetically pleasing too.
Also was the date important? Does the viewer need to know a particular day of collections was in fact the 28th April? Or was it more about the pieces instead of the dates?
After my tutorial I sat there thinking about these collections. My only option really if I wanted them to look better for the viewer was to mount them onto something so I would no longer need this masking tape. Therefore that afternoon I took a trip to Jewsons and ordered 30 pieces of 300mm by 300mm MDF. Once it is ready to collect I begin making my frames and mounting my collections onto them.
