I have a 35mm Canon film camera, and always captured beautiful looking images with it. This lead me to experiment with this camera and capture rubbish around my local area as an experiment.
Upon further discussion with Moira, she backed me opinion that these were too literal, and although they represented my idea of consumerism and how we discard things so easily. They look like pieces of artwork because they are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, even though they contain rubbish that has been thrown away. However, they do not allow the reader to think about what they believe the imagery represents. The concept is there, just not as a final piece or concept. My next experimentations are going to involve sculptures made out of rubbish, as well as scenography to decide what sort of format I want my final images to take, and how things that have been thrown away so easily can be made into beautiful and interesting works of art.
