I collected 2 bags of lost property last week, there are some interesting objects in there so hopefully my next 2 collections will be equally interesting. At the moment I am thinking about the displaying of my objects, I do not want to alter them in anyway. I want to show the objects in an individual basis rather than all together on one plinth or collection. I have also decided that my original idea of having a film of people talking about an item they have lost running along with the installation will defer the viewers attention from the lost property. I feel an audio piece will work in harmony with the objects and increase the viewers imagination as to the lives the objects had before being lost.
I am still looking for volunteers for my audio piece and would be grateful of any help, if anyone has software to record their voice and can email it to me then that would be great?
I have in a matter of a week had loads of ideas for display ranging from tunnels to market barrows. I have to take some photos of the gallery and possible ways of displaying my work as well as making a few models.
I am also considering creating a printed inventory to go with the work as all the items have to be donated to Oxfam after the show, currently I am thinking about descriptions and images being the focus of the inventory but that could all change.
