- I used photography to document my starting points with everyday objects - putting them out of context.
- I did blind drawings from photographs of tongs that i put out of context.
- I used the idea of creating different effects with screen printing- 2 colour and 4 colour separation using my photographs of everyday activities with tongs.
- I learnt how to create photograms using coal tongs.
- I did a visual diary of doing everyday activities using coal tongs - subverting their original purpose.
- I cast the tongs in wax and added everyday objects to them - what concept the tongs went from was 'ordinary to extraordinary' - 'useful to sculptural'
Some of my strengths throughout this module were -
- I wasn't afraid to try out a new technique of working with objects in and out of context.
- I was experimental with using blind drawings to show another side of drawing.
- I was able to follow what I had learnt in screen printing workshops to my own ideas with hardly any errors made.
- I didn't mind what other people thought of my work as they said it was 'funny' and 'weird'. I just ignored that and got on with the process of taking pictures using coal tongs because it was something that was challenging and fun to do.
Weakness -
- The only set back with using wax was that it was quite fragile to handle and it broke in several places so it had to be thrown away.
