I have been making a collection of jewellery (necklaces, bracelets, head dresses) using ordinary, typical, or even unused and forgotten materials. For example:
China plates,
Baking tins
Sweets
Plastic
Cardboard
Nails and screws
(and even) tree branches - anything I could find!
An aim of my independent project was to produce a look book to showcase the jewellery collection. As I was using objects which juxtaposed mundane tasks and unusual objects to wear
I supported the images of the jewellery with a photographic story, with real people and settings, to demonstrate that who ever we are or whatever we do we are all still important.
It is a positive outlook on life.
The ordinary tasks included frying dinner, sewing, de-icing the car of a morning, watching t.v, waiting for the bus...
The unusual, eye-catching, jewellery is to signify that we all have talents which may remain unknown etc yet they are quite extraordinary for someone to discover them.
Thank you to my family and friends for taking part in this project.
