A Presence In An Empty Space.

Using the filters I made but removing myself from the images I decided to bring the the images back into the wendy house to create collaged images/photographs. 

a presence in an empty space.

Comfort Filters

when I was looking at my video stills and thought it would be interesting to cut myself of the images and looked at the negative space that is left behind. 

its all a bit of fun really, just experimenting with bits of card and seeing where the camera takes me  

I filled in the gaps with selctape and used the cards as a make shift camera filter. 

these are the results….not sure how I feel about these style of images but it was good fun making them. 

The Comfort of Sleep

I have been working on a video.

I climbed into the tiny tiny wendy house and tried very hard to get comfortable enough to fall asleep.

I wanted to explore my existence in the tiny space and get a greater understanding of being comfortable in an uncomfortable space.

The intention of the video was to make the view feel uncomfortable while watching. there is something quite intimate about watching someone sleep and the fact that the video is filmed on just one camera give the impression that I am being observed like an animal in a cage.

I'll look forward to reading what you think of it

Its Time to Decorate!!!

My Little Wendy House

I have been currently looking at the idea of comfort…yet again 

I have been hunting around the internet and finally got my hands on a wendy house. I don't know about you guys but I had one of these when I was a little girl and I loved it, come rain or shine I could be found in my wendy house playing 'lunch' with my teddies and dolls. 

the idea of escaping to a safe place is something I want to explore with this object. 

I want to decorate it. 

I want to sleep in it. 

I want to leave it in an open space and see how the world reacts to its presence.
