many things, many ideas float around in my head, and most have a lot to do with the body of work i have been working on for uni which i have yet to name.
the basis of the photographic works is to create costumes out of recyled matarials-not recycable like cardboard and plastic bottles; but things that no-one remembers or has thrown away thinking it cant be used again like ripped curtains or rusty wire. making these costumes to the model i am photographing at the time also helps bring out as sense of indiituality that flows on a differnet tanget to repetitive fashion photography, i encourage them almost to play dress-ups an create a theatrical-like character based on themeselves. in this sneaky way, i am talking about how environment (environment being anything from place to clothes) influences the human pysche. the works, while definantly about the costume, are mainly about how internal feelings and thoughts are often expressed in a visual way through what one wares.
