My Three Objects

After receiving the brief I revisited my Rough guide area and chose my three objects I would be working with for this piece.

Object number One:

Found on a market stall in Piccadilly Market

An Old telephone:

Tall, Old, Victorian? phone, connects to the wall with a small plug, separate speaking/listening parts, round turn dial for numbers. Made out of metal and plastic, icon in old films. £90, wires have be redone, not original. The phones numbers are printed on paper circles with small finger holes, the ear piece is hand-held, would be easier to sit down when dialling/calling

Victorian,expensive,curvaceous,collectible, brass, unique, history-who used it? Old ringer, one setting, unloved, mundane object taken for granted

The phone is too plain to be taken from it's current place and put somewhere else, its purpose is to be sold more for humor than usage. Could be used on a film set or in antique shop. Visions of grandeur, it's no longer needed, used to show class, the rich. Wouldn't now be suitable for everyday use, suit old Victorian decor.

Object Two:

Fortnum and Mason

Piccadilly

Lara Bohinc bag, small, sold as concession £595

"Nadia" small Black patent handbag, deer leather with dark brass jewellery, made in Italy.

Smooth,small, fashion item, cold,brass decorative panel with double chain handle, bold, contemporary, simple, expensive, almost "chavvy" looking.

2. Tribal, contrast, sandwich box, delicate, nimble, symmetric, mirror image.

3. Could be sold in variety of upper class shops, replicated for the market-cheaper fakes, could be sculptural/metal piece if the plate on the front was deattached, could be sold in a department store, for a delicate day bag mainly for females, not particularly glamorous/big enough to be celebrity wanted yet but still glamorous.

Object Three:

"Allies"- Lawerence Holofcener on Bond street

Bench/sculpture, lifelike, one of artists most famous works, gift from bond association to commemorate 50 years of peace. Features Winston Churchill and Franklin D.Roosevelt talking. Made out of bronze and is lifesize. Big London tourist attraction, unveiled by Princess Margret in 1995.

Cold, bronze, life size, delicate, strong, crevice, detailed,posh, typical, intriguing, wet, unique.

If this was placed anywhere else in London it could face the chance to be vandalised for sure/pieces robbed. It blends well with the surroundings but does not go unnoticed, its part of London's memorial. Placed in a gallery it wouldn't make such an impact, its designed for outside environment, it looks permanent, it decorates the street and is supposed to be in its place.
