My Work - Whimsical Version
Objects: 1. Toaster 2. Ipod, Headphones, Rocks 3. Painted Globe 4. Baseball with electrical cord 5. Two Toasters
Intentions: This version of my response to this assignment is all about whimsy and surrealism. Some of the initial objects I considered lead me in a dark direction. That was true for many of the other students as well. Maybe it was because Stuart emphasized the importance of the title and of trying to provoke a feeling in the mind of the viewer. My dark version of this assignment was so profoundly sad that I wanted to swing the pendulum and offer this set of whimsical images.
Other notes: I’m terribly sorry about the puns.
