Perhaps an Idea

After thinking about my installation I have decided on what I want to do. I first thought about displaying my images on 3 seperate boards and hinging them together to form something to look at. However I shortly decided that this was not the approach I wanted to take. I wanted to make something much more personal that the viewer could understand and seem to be involved in rather than just to look at. I have decided on a space I would like to use and its a 3 walled cubby hole which I am going to develop into my installation. My initial idea was just to display my picutres in it but then I thought I should develop this more, so I am going to make it into a prototype of a lounge, and in particular my Grandad's. I have purchased a chair from a charity shop which looks my like the one at my Grandad's house, and after some bargaining I have got my Grandad to lend me his glasses and hat which were also in the black and white print. I wanted to relate my installation to an artist or photographer to ensure my work had a bit more substance and I found Van Gough and Grauguin. Van Gogh painted each one with his inspression of the chairs and the outcomes are below. This is the sort of thing that will be in my installation as the chair will be the central piece. I am very happy that I found these artists that relate however I am also glad that I found them after I decided on the idea so it gives my idea more individuality.
