'Love it /Hate it!' I hate snails too!'
'Beautiful Decay'
'Beauty in Detritus'
' I love the overall effect and the 3D element, but is that meat? Yuck!!'
'You feel pulled in to the image, but then you want to get out again!'
These comments show that I am now moving in the right direction as I aim to draw in the viewer with a seductive, colourful image; then 'hit them' with nasty things!
This image contains:
Rotten fruit= illness, deterioration
Snails= Attack on my garden
Meat and bones= Mortality
Grey hair= My ageing
I realise that until the viewer is aware of the objects in the image and their meanings, which are very personal to me, they will not understand the message contained in it.
So for my final exhibition, I will have to think about how to inform the viewer of the subject of each image. I think this could be in the form of a catalogue, or samples of each element with an explanation. But I will have to think very carefully about how I present this information, as I do not want to distract from the image itself and I want the right message to be read.
