Part 1: Writing Assignment
I chose a set of three objects for this project. They are three pigs about six inches tall and 3 inches wide. They are made of a very weird plaster type material. Each pig has been assigned a position— one has its hands covering its mouth, another has its hands covering its eyes, and the last one is supposed to be covering its ears, but instead it was a duplicate, so I altered it to have no arms. These little pigs are denoting the concept of see no evil, speak no evil, and hear no evil. This concept is usually shown through monkeys— the three wise monkeys. Typically, this means that you should avoid sin. The pigs, to me, carry connotations of the meat industry and poor treatment of animals. I find the objects weird because they are cute and happy yet showing such serious connotations about sin. I plan to connect the idea surrounding ignoring sinful things to the horrors of the meat industry. I want to juxtapose the cutesy nature of these little pigs with disgusting hanging meats.
