Lists Lists Lists

For all 17 lists i used simple illustrations to represent my ideas, for example the image on the left.  i found it helped to have these visual interpretations especially in the development process.  after the initial diagrams i experimented with different medias, for example in the pictures bellow i used a mixture of inks and pen.

i liked the element of abstractness in both of these drawings especially the idea of a swarm of flies.

continuing with this idea i experimented on photo shop with found images and adding flies to them.  i really like the way they look realistic and sort of creepy at the same time.

when it came to the lists, i found coming up with '10 places to hide' was the most enjoyable and i also felt it was the easiest one of all my lists to develop and represent.  from here i combined my previous idea of flies with '10 places to hide' by using a fly to represent the person and a type of food as the place to hide, i did this for each place on the list,  for example with the 'abroad' idea i had a fly with a foreign food.  instead of sticking to just illustration i decided to create model flies using wire form, clay, wire, and acrylic.  

below is a few of these models; 

• the top left is to represent jail, i used caramelised sugar to create a caged effect.
• top right is to represent a hat/hoodie which people use to hide their faces.  
• bottom left is to represent an invisibility cloak,  this one was hard to represent so i used the lemon to give an impression of only a head on show and the rest of the fly concealed.
• bottom left is to represent halloween costumes, i used a pomegranate in the place of a pumpkin.
