Recreating annoyances.

After looking at the work of Richard Hughes and Petro Chrisostomon, I have combined the ideas in their works, and my own ideas to create a large dust/dirt patch (similar to what you may find in a corner). I have placed this in various places and documented them. I am accomplishing what I intended to with these images, in that they make me feel uneasy. The site being used, my own flat, is very important within my work as it is my own environment in which little things annoy me, therefore the work I create is in my home, and is site specific.With these images, I aim to project them larger back into the space, and again document them with photos.

By enlarging the amount of mess within my home, exaggerating things that annoy me, I aim to create a reaction from myself and possibly the viewer.

Photography meets 3D

Experimenting with two areas I have grown fond of, photography and 3D. I have placed the 'focus' images over the objects I took photos of and have worked into them allowing the original object to show through slightly.

Projections: Night

I have projected the close up images on a larger scale in various places in my flat. Some places worked better than others. I used the images and projected them on the places where I originally took the images, allowing the light to move around the objects. The large projections prevent you from escaping the image, thus forcing the viewer to look at it, which could provoke a reaction, depending on how the viewer see's them.

Focus - Video

Experimentation with video and effects to create a moving image that I hope viewers will find intriguing. I need to explore ways to display the video, projection, TV, or possibly split into several channels to create an installation in a small room, forming quite a claustrophobic atmosphere, maybe bringing stress to the viewer.

Day time projections

With the photos I previously took from around the house, I have projected them to give a different impact upon the viewer. The day time light has restricted me, therefore I could only use two spaces within my flat. My aim is to make the images more than what they are, making them bigger or putting them in different places, attempting to gauge a reaction from the viewer, whether it be distress, humor, confusion or interest. Enlarging and projecting the images, I feel, amplifies my distress, taking the smaller things that don't usually bother me, and bringing them to the conscious of both myself and the viewer.

Focus

To continue with the theme of stress, I am focusing on parts of my home that don't necessarily stand out, however, I know they are there and constantly bother me slightly. I have taken close up photos of these in black and white in order to disguise what they actually are, therefore making the viewer wonder and look further into the work. Some may be more obvious than others, this could be a point to work on.
