PROJECT ONE.

AIMS:

WHAT I AIM TO ACHIEVE FROM PROJECT ONE, IS TO MAKE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS MASS PRODUCED OR PRINTED FROM SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUALLY A ONE OFF PROCESS SUCH AS EMBROIDERY. I THINK THIS CREATES AN INTERESTING TENSION IN THE WORK - WHERE WHAT YOU SEE AND WHAT YOU ACTUALLY SEE AND ONLY SEPERATED BY A VERY SMALL DETAIL. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING WORK - AND I THINK THIS WILL CHALLENGE MY PROCESS BECUAUSE I WILL HAVE TO WORK OUT HOW TO TECHNICALLY MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I THINK THE SUBJECT MATTER FITS THIS IDEA REALLY WELL, BECAUSE IT IS WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT WHEN I SAW THE PEOPLE ON THE MOST WANTED LIST. THEY LOOK LIKE 'NORMAL' PEOPLE ON THE SURFACE, BUT ACTUALLY THEY ARE SERIOUS CRIMINALS. IN SOME CASES YOU LOOK AT THEM AND INSTANTLY THINK THAT THEY LOOK A BIT SHADY, BUT THERE ARE SOME WHERE YOU WOULD PROBABLY NEVER SUSPECT THEM. IT IS A DOUBLE TAKE WHEN YOU READ WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.
I HAVE ALSO ALWAYS HAD A FASCINATION WITH STUDYING PEOPLE AND CHARACTERS AND LOOKING AT THE FINEST DETAILS IN A FACE THAT ARE SO INFLUENCED BY ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. I FIND THE CRIMINAL FACES REALLY INTERESTING -AS THEY ARE A GROUP OF PEOPLE YOU WOULDN'T OFTEN GET THE CHANCE OF SEEING ON MASS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY....HOPEFULLY.
