Our second project we were given was a very interesting one. We were told to gather a collection of objects that we find visually inspiring. In doing this and deciding on our objects we had to consider colour,texture and form. These objects were to inform our drawing throughout the beginning of the autumn term.
Living in a flat in London away from home I had absolutely no objects of sentimental value. After thinking long and hard about the objects to which I would have to refer to for the following few weeks I decided on some which reminded of the small farm I grew up on. I thought that in doing this a more personal side would be added to everything I make in Chelsea while settling in.
My objects included; bunches of hay and straw, I thought by looking past the mundane and seemingly dullness of this everyday object you see a multitude of golds, ochres, and beautiful greens. I also included a roll of barbed wire for its form, a strip of metal chicken wire for its interesting pattern, a bunch of peacock feathers for their immensely wonderful and iridescent colours, cattle tags as I wanted to incorporate something unnatural and manmade and other smaller objects such as wires, screws and bolts.
