I now know what I picture for the show. I have been struggling to picture how everything will come together visually, as I am used to looking at each spectacle individually. However it will be impossible to see how they will all look together until I have made them all.
After the short film I made I decided I didn't want to waste time learning how to film better and edit better when I should be focusing on what I am good at which is creating spectacles from fabrics. So, for the degree show, the plan is to create a static snapshot of a festival scene with my three spectacles in the middle positioned in a 'huddle'. In order to to create a festival aesthetic I think there needs to be nature surrounding the spectacles. So I envision there to be trees behind them, or either side of them. I think if these trees were normal trees, then the other worldly aesthetic wouldn't come through, so these trees wont be typical trees. Perhaps they will be more like the trees from a Dr. Seuss film.
I have considered that this means by work for the degree show will be static, unless I allow the audience to take them off there stands and wear them. My spectacles are designed to be worn and moved around in, and I worry that the audience will not understand my work fully unless they are allowed to wear them during the exhibition. Most of the movement of the spectacles will be documented and submitted as supporting evidence, which is why I am still debating whether the assessors seeing the full movement of the spectacles is enough for me, or whether I want the audience too to see the spectacles live up to their full potential.
