Week 3: Monday 7th October

Context: 

After university I am very interested in perusing a career  in visual merchandiser, this week I visited town to take photos of the shop displays to give me ideas and inspiration, from the materials used, to the position of the objects in the window.  My Practice at the moment  would be independent gallery based installation like Rachel Whitereads work,  but it has become of a surprise that the photographs can be used as prints. In the weeks to come I am hoping by taking extra time for contextual  research  and contacting stores for a work placement will enable me to have a more skilful knowledge of what it takes to be a textile / installation artist.
These are my own photographs; I was focusing on the use of colour and materials. Visual merchandising has to be cost effective, reusable and seasonal. I am already working with quite rustic colours and going to have a look at the autumn window displays was inspirational for how diverse wood and cardboard are as materials.
