Although I really liked the idea of the jug as it was smaller in the end I decided to use a different jug - as when it came down to displaying the piece I wasn't sure of how it would look best, so I changed the jug at last minute. I wasn't too confident with this piece even though I decided to show it in the exhibition.. I think it was because its not my usual style of work - even though I wanted to experiment with creating something on a smaller scale and making it more intimate.
I dont think this worked as well as I would've hoped, I feel as though I rushed making it for the exhibition. I think my piece would've looked better in a darker place - as I added a light in top of the jar to really focus in on the images. Although in the private viewing it was dark outside - so I guess that worked to my advantage. I had a window space in the triangle space, which added a reflection of the piece on the wall making the space seem larger.
I ended up placing the piece on a side table, as I wanted the piece to look almost ornamental. I thought the table showed a relation to Emma Harts work I saw at Matt's Gallery, when she used a tripod. This made the piece seem more visual. I also added a shell on the lower shelf of the table, to make it seem more precious although I thought it distracted from the piece (so did others in the crit)
