CHERISHING AS AN ACTIVITY CAN BE APPLIED TO ANY MATERIAL OBJECT
I feel I have proved that by collecting what is traditional seen as material rubbish and applying emotions to it and COLLABORATING, DISPLAYING and PRESENTING it in away which makes others cherish these objects.
To continue this I am going to try and distill the CURATING OF OBJECTS INTO A COLLECTION which evolves a sense of IMPORTANCE, INTEREST AND PRIDE.
To do this I am going to collect objects and photograph them in a way which ELEVATES THIER STATUS.
By elevating their status I am allowing people to cherish a object which as a material is considered disposable. irrelevant and unimportant. It is easy to cherish gold; traditions, social cultures and our upbringing teaches us this. however we are not so used to cherishing deposable objects such as fruit, everyday objects like plastic tooth brushes and coins. I would like to challenge myself to present everyday un-cherished objects in a way which makes them appear important materials.
In a way I think I am trying to question our pre conceived ideas about the value of different objects and materials.
