Day 16 - The Evolution of Rocks...



The six photos I used for my story was not my first choice for the storyboard, which led me to struggle with forming a meaning for my work. Eventually, I created some form of meaning to my work, inverting matter. I did this by using rocks showing the notion of water. 







My initial ideas were sourced from postcards, messages, notes, perfume and other objects that stood out in my room. 

Later on in the day, we critiqued, complimented and contemplated about the meaning of other people’s series’ of photographs. The feedback I was given was very helpful, in terms of seeing what kind of message I had portrayed.  Some of the comments included: ‘intriguing’, ‘add additional elements’, ‘diverse’. I felt that the comments were also useful prompts in helping progress onto how I captured the following photographs.


From the series of six images, I set out to use rocks representing, showing that rocks are just as fluid as water in some aspects, for example composition. I then calculated that the shoot was not possible in terms of resources. So I moved onto photographing different selections of rocks, printed them and then shaped them to make an assortment of paper rocks.




In future projects, I will start assignments as soon as possible, so I am able to produce work that means something to me and is thought out properly.
