My object in a literal sense is a hollow ceramic garden figure of a woodsman carrying a bundle of sticks, apples and coal. He is also wearing a cloak and brimmed hat. It doesn’t particularly signify anything in particular other than peoples desire for quaint garden decorations. There isn’t many connotations in particular that this piece holds, it’s rather a mundane object in its literal meaning. However the figure itself does look quite a bit like a wizard and although the original object is probably the furthest thing from a wizard I would like my project to reflect something along the ethereal lines. Taking something as mundane as a simple lawn ornament of a jolly woodsman I would like to manipulate the mold in some way so that the objects can seem to be alive and participating in some ritual of sorts, one that is almost creepy in a sense.
