Bag stuck in a tree

It is a common occurrence in an urban environment but one that is often overlooked and unappreciated. To see it blowing gracefully in the breeze, filled with the warm glow of the sun can be quite mesmerising.

I wanted to capture this moment in its entirety by suspending the branches in space, so it appears to float, completely detached and isolated from its surroundings.

The branches have been rendered in a stylised, almost abstract form to exaggerate the re-contextualisation of the object itself and the colour selections help to push this further.

The use of a real plastic bag as the diffuser creates a stark contrast with the finely crafted branches that display it, and enables the mood of the light to be altered by either crumpling the bag up or replacing it with one in a different colour or graphic.

It’s Alive!

“It’s Alive!” pays homage to the theatrical nature of invention reminiscing of films such as Frankenstein where the ‘mad inventor’ is portrayed as on the brink of his latest creation.

Symbolising this notion of eccentric invention “It’s Alive!” draws directly from the aesthetical nature of such films with its bare functionality and mechanical features. It gives the user a heightened sense of awareness as they activate the switch and the light drops from the ceiling making it ideal in bringing a new sense of understanding to the mundane.
