Reflective Text
This work examines ideas of character setting / location impacting storyline.
By using photographs I was able to capture my character (the Airpods) in different locations. This helped me rethink and develop my ideas, for example - what does the Airpod do when it is in a person's ears? This helped me come to the idea that the motive for the Airpods running away is that they are repulsed by being in people’s ears. It also helped me to familiarise myself with the shape and physical characteristics of the Airpods even more.
This work is similar to the work of David Wadelton’s painting Colossal Still Life (1990), as he is also taking everyday objects and changing the context and meaning of them by combining them with other objects and placing them in different environments.
By examining location and its effects on character, I reflected on the importance of creating context with character settings. A different narrative could have been created from each of the different photographs / settings I explored.
