12.12.14 installation work
trying to push on from initial dust projection prints.
Working towards idea of light/projection installation using old-school projector and slides.
The concept is about the familiarity (for old farts like me) with the regular sound of projector, the hum, the visible dust haze in the beam, and the doziness and heat and associations that come from being in a room watching slides.
This is a scanned dust slide using just sellotape and sampling dust from the largest oldest room in the art school.
I'm interested in referencing traces of the past. The art school in Bristol has been here since 1853. Like any home, parts of it are unchanged, others bits left untouched. There are obvious associations with dust and history.
I like this particular image as the dust collected unexpectedly looks like an eye gazing back.
I'm trying to avoid coming back to deliberately framing my images which seems to be a recurring familiar almost comfort blanket.
However in this case it works better with a black outline.
