Thinking Caps on.

Im going to go back to the Shadow Art and my idea is to create four more structures that will relate to my self portrait.

I have chosen as a starters 'the life-cycle of a human being' this will start with a foetus in the womb, a child, my self portrait, and elderly woman and then death.

I have found some images I can work on to start with and each will have items that connect with that specific life stage.

I think I would like the baby structure suspended from the ceiling. So this means I will create a roof/womb type area and maybe even use muffled sounds etc. The list of items could be - Baby accessories, essentials and also what the mother needs, plus coffee etc..

The Child, which I'm thinking would be around 7yrs-8yrs would be a smaller structure as I would like all these projections to be actual size. The child structure would contain broken toys, clothes, crayons, teeth, and other things that go with it. 

The Elderly lady would come after my self portrait and this will contain a walking stick and cake etc 

Finally Death will be a structure a lot like Tim Nobles and Sue Websters city skyline, taken from rubbish. this will have spades, dead flowers, coffin nails, tears etc

I know this is a quite an obvious idea but I know I will work hard on this, I will have to show this whole set in the middle room as I will need space. So I'm heading down this afternoon to measure up.
