direction

Tomorrow travelling to the V&A Museum of Childhood. After last weeks discussions i wanted to photograph images of abandoned toys that i may come across on my travels or even visit a dumping ground/site.Another idea is to experiment with the mutilation of dolls and stuffed toys such as teddy bears maybe strategicly placed in public with photographic evidence.
I have previously created pieces involving obscure phobias and found this very interesting, over my life time i have come to be acquainted with a few people that have a fear of clowns, so this is also another area that i am looking to experiment with.7
Need to start collecting friends an families unwanted toys and trinkets so as to begin experimenting, enabling me to have a clearer idea as to which route i want to take with this project.

    p.s did u see the rusted trike on top of the shelf in the Space studio office on monday?
    looked like a survivor from a cold war!
    also got me thinking about the difference between generations as in how much more we played outside compared to todays generation...

    imagine..neglected toys,bikes etc whilst inside houses/homes the artificial t.v lights are blazing as future generations grown up socially isolated and densentisized..
