•Twists images of the nostalgic, precious, and innocent into glaring reminders of current environmental catastrophes

• Art that encourages sustainability and conservation

•Only those shed or discarded by birds naturally

•"He believes that even though a feather has finished its life with a bird, that it still has much to offer"

The piece depicts the impact of the British Empire in America and the damage it caused to various cultures. This is achieved by painting a mythological figure from Dominican folklore over a colonial map from 1733. The waves surrounding the figure seem to symbolize the people's resistance to oppression.

Could you make people interact with a piece unknowingly?

Rising Temperature, Heatwaves

Sound: Abrupt Cuts

The negative effects of desensitization, whether it be in the media (social media, articles)

Create something that will cause the viewer to be moved and to think

Think of plan B for the stuff we don't know for sure will work

We went down a certain route, why, what else could we have done

Research into British folk lores (the green man for ex.) —> use imagery as inspo for stuff

The metal work —> research contemporary artists that work with similar material and how they use it to convey a certain feeling

How does the piece make someone feel > how does the message convey

Why that specific body we used (why a man, why pose, why material, why …)

Iconography, old body statues …

Body of someone from the group —> gets it into self portrait area

Think about if we want a title or description (sometimes title is enough, sometimes not, sometimes you don’t even need one)

Richard Mosse - broken spectre

the second body - daisy hildyard

We depend on metal instead of nature

"Destroying what we created"
