Last Wednesday the group and I revisited the Mumbles Yacht
club in order to measure our chosen areas (or count tables in my case) and also
to try and build a relationship between ourselves and the club members/staff.
On both of these fronts the trip was a success, I have nine tables at my
disposal and the men at the club seem more than happy to be involved in our
work. The only disappointed of the visit was that we arrived quite late in the
day, so I ran out of time to shoot in natural light; however it has given me
another avenue to look into, as photographs depicting the beach during the
night may look good in the glass containers/bottles.
I have started collecting the materials I need to create my installation; this includes glass bottles and jars, as well as electrical candles (which will only be placed inside the jars), I have also been collecting shells, pebbles, leaves and sand from the areas I have photographed because I plan on placing these around or under the candles inside the jars and bottles, to reinforce the connection between my work and the environment it depicts.
I still
need at least four more jars and ten more bottles, and although that sounds
like a lot I am confident that my friends will be more than happy to help by emptying
some bottles for me.
