The most prominent feature in the Yacht House for me was the reference to old ships, the ships wheel hanging high on the wall, the model ship on the window sill, and the framed images of ships battling fierce storms that dotted the interior of the building. This has inspired other areas of visual research into the ‘ship in a bottle’ or ‘message in a bottle’ motifs; I’m considering taking this design and incorporating it into small installation, and maybe having photographs in the bottle instead of a model ship.
In this image particularly I like that material from the
surrounding environment has been used, I might use this concept with my own
bottle installation as it would create a stronger bond between what I am making
and the building I am placing it in.
If I do make these installations I will most likely use them
as centre pieces on the tables, but those found on the roof not inside so that
there is an obvious connection between the materials found in the bottle (
photograph, possibly of a landscape and the objects I collect from the
surrounding area). However i will have to find a way of illuminating the photographs,
my first thought is purchasing electric tea candles and places them inside the
bottles/jars; that way I can close them so the things inside aren’t disturbed by
the elements.
I will have to create a prototype to see how it copes
outside.
