ORDINARY/EXTRA-ORDINARY

Our final project in my first year of University. The brief for the project was to take 2 objects off of a list of everyday household items and have them be the inspiration for the collection. I chose a hairclip and a torch, two very different looking and functioning objects. This project required a lot of observational drawing and studies of the objects in order to extract as much information from them as possible. I felt that an interesting way to interpret these objects and images would be through distorting them. It could also be a way of marrying the two objects. I also looked at images by photographer Alexander Harding, as his photographs focus on distorting light and highlight some really interesting colours you perhaps wouldnt normally see.
