setbuild







Few images from the set build.

1 - Is a piece I sourced from the proper house, it was a tray but we used it as a wall piece for its vibrance and so the wall didn't look so bare.

2 - Pretty much every house had a light switch near the door, but we didn't source one so I took out a few hours to make one, the base is from a piece of 2 cm mdf, cut downstairs in wood tech with curved edges and painted white, where as the switch is modelled from a 1950's light switch that i managed to make with a net graph. as seen below.




3 - is our table layout from above consisting of 2 plates /knifes and forks ( which we changed ) a selection of fruit to again bring colours to the image and a glass bottle of whisky to add presence.


4 - the Model of choice ready to strut her stuff, she was very much the ticket, her face and jaw like really fitted the part and brought a all round new feeling to the set, luckily salvadors girlfriend scouted her at the land minute.

5 - Myself in the set.






with the placement of the shelving on the right of the window, I thought it sat well as it brights a small semi circle flow from the top of the window frame, flowing into the shelving, then into the beautiful shape and curve of the light down into the sand, though it might lead the eye to other viewing perspectives of the image.


The flowers that christine bought looked ( and smelt ) lovely, bringing that plastic look to the image accompanied by the tea set covered in sand, and the 1950's house making magazines sitting in the corner playing as a metaphore for the perfect home.

I think the colours worked so well thoughtout the project allowing for a real bright and plastic feeling.

the sand finished off showing a real take back by the desert and bringing new stories to the piece.
