' A small print on a mailbox becomes something really precious when you remove all the noise around it and isolate it from it's setting.' (Merel karhof, Project 2). Explore familiar or alien surroundings by isolating, documenting and displaying anything you think will create a new awareness of the landscape.
For this project I decided to look at shadows around Bournville, the different shapes they cast and how they change and move as time goes by. I started by tracing shadows that had been cast on the ground e.g. bins, trees, gates, buildings. After doing these I decided I wanted to trace then on a bigger scale as they were too small and I wanted a larger impact to be made, so i traced a shadow of a large tree.
I wanted to take them from there original place and put them in a different setting, which is why a placed the large shadow of the tree in the middle of the room on the floor. This meant that people could either walk around it or over it which would make it feel as if it was real shadow cast.
