DEVELOPMENT – Twine Heads

Instead of leaving the twine heads how they were I decided to develop them even further.

For one of the heads I decided to develop it even further, and glue cigarettes butts on to the twine and the reason I decided to do this was because it has been an idea of mine for a while, also it had a meaning behind it. The meaning and reason I decided to glue cigarette butts on to the twine is to portray the fact that in todays society many people are very quick to shut you down (stub out) and the fact that many people are very quick to judge a person, so I thought that the cigarette butts were a good way to portray this, especially because they have been used and have been stubbed out.

So the idea of the cigarette butt is portray that within todays society no matter how old you are or where you are, there are many people that look down upon you and can be very harsh on each other. So its kind of like a metaphor the idea that smoking can be very addictive and repetitive, implying that people can be the exact same.

For the second head I decided to hang red string onto the twine, to follow on from the first head and to portray that once people ‘stub you out’ this then leads to a lot of emotion such as anger. I used the colour red to show this as the colour red portrays many things such as anger, blood or danger.

Following on from the second head that portrays anger, I then decided to use flowers and leaves I found outside to show that no matter what people always shine and blossom no matter the circumstances people sometimes come out on top.
