Final Piece Plan
These are very crude drawings of my plans for the final piece. I will be creating 5 shrines - one for each of the forms of escapism. There are several stages to making the shrines.
Stage One:
Paint the five wine crates in white gloss paint. Paint crudely so wood texture shows through.
Stage Two:
'Wallpaper' the inside of each shrine.
Pornography:
with images of pornography cut out from magazines
Literature:
with yellowed pages of an old book
Rock 'n' Roll:
with images of rock and roll icons
LSD:
with psychedelic swirl paintings created using the rotator painter
Alcohol:
Stick miniature bottles of alcohol to the inside of the crate
Stage Three:
cover the outside edge of the shrine with artificial flowers and leaves.
Stage Four:
cut out the image of the saint without projection mounted on foamboard and place it in the shrine.
Shrines in Popular Culture
Sophia Coppola
Sophia Coppola's film The Vigin Suicides contains both religious and shrine-like imagery. The camera often zooms in on small details which is fascinating and helps to paint a realistic portrait of the sister's lives. I really like the teenage element in the details and this is something I would like to further explore.
