Still life- ILA
Pinterest research

On this Pinterest research I come across over head shots and placing objects on coloured card to make tiles or just a one colour backdrop which Brooke Holmes has done but he chooses objects to reflect the persons personality being what he or she wears, what does the person do daily. I looked at how sweets and toys can be displayed in the image to represent a child interests so I get an idea on how to place the child's personality in my single mother project either by putting all the toys on shelves and have mannequin dressing as a mother going out to party and a bottle of alcohol near it. I could do a collage of the toys and candy mixed like the style of Emily Blincoe but with the mother side in a style like a grid but be careful in choosing the right colours so that the grid collage effect won't go all random and look as if I have just put much thought in the image by placing not contrasting colours objects and then the viewer be too distract in reading the image about the mother and childs daily life. Having spills like how Mizuki Ono to have action in the image and look as if the person I am doing about seems to have just done her daily life and I have recorded it into an image, the spills can be seen how the mother has her fun and imagine how messy her party life is or the spills could be about the child where the child may get tantrums and acts on it with damaging the house or the items which are very personal to the mother that makes the mother not have a strong bond with the child.
