Final Piece Plan:

        I chose 24 photos out of the 42 i took. I tried different ways to display them. I thought about having them smaller and used as a background of the original idea where the photos could be placed in the felting or sellotaped transferred on. However, i decided to have the photos as the main focus so they could be followed to show the story. After trying different arrangements i decided to use the first one shown on the left as it was easiest to follow and the photos all supported one another as they are connected. After concluding this i was able to think about my complete final piece idea.
    On a select few, one from each row, i would sew some bone details on using red thread and sew all the photos together. I still wanted to use most of my original idea materials. Especially the red material as that would stand out from all the black in the photo, highlight the danger that is being shown and draw attention to the whole piece as it is a bright colour. I thought using it as a border would work then so it wouldn't split the photos up or be too overpowering.
    Using the rope as the overall border would link it back to what's shown in the photos. The red fabric would be tied around the rope, with ripped gaps so it looks ragged. Almost like a stretched spider web with a fly caught in the middle.
 

   Using the rope, i would hang the whole piece up but not against the wall. I think natural, outside light would work best so nothing is too distracting or dark, hiding the piece. I think hanging this outside in an area where it is overgrown with weeds would help bring attention and naturality to it. Therefore showing how this is happening in the real world. On the other hand, i think taking a photo in two different settings could change the tone. For instance having this hung in a dark room with spotlights on it would bring back the photoshoot display idea and would be quite dark. However, i decided that this is already displayed in the photos as they were created in the same setting and are quite dark as the main colour is black. Therefore using a contradicting setting of the outside with natural light will let the viewer breathe and understand how unhealthy it is for a person to be suffering with these mentalitys.
    I especially like the idea of having the piece hung up and be able to turn around. I was thinking of dripping black paint and pva glue on the back and create images of weeds growing on the red fabric. Additionally, as i still have the black fabric i could still create the original idea on the back. This could be too much in one piece but both sides show the same image and slot into each other nicely.
