My finished piece contained some of the ideas I had initially but used them in a totally different way. My father works with wood and because I have always been very close to him the base of my project, a wooden box corresponds to him. He has always been the stabiling influence in my life (this corresponds to to the idea of my childhood being safe and secure) The box is covered with pictures that remind me of home as well as symbols that represent "Home and earth in different cultures and cults. On top of the box is a sod of grass taken fom my garden at home, this again represents my feelings of security at home as does the domed shape on top of it. The seeds covering it relate to one of the travel rituals I researched which spoke of seeds as representing a new beginning. The outside of this dome represents new beginnings ie; travel, while the inside represents security and home/earth. The inside is coated with cotton wool and nestling in the centre is a metal shape into which I rubbed gold paint to show that it was precious. This shape which I found in a scrap yard reminded me of a symbol that I came across in my research which meant earth and home. This tied in nicely to my project.The two triangles on top of the dome represent security and insecurity,the top one is tilted to give the feeling of insecurity ie; if it was hit against or tapped it might just fall over. There are feathers coming out of the centre of the triangles which relate to the theme of travel. And now, if you are not asleep, you can click below to see all the pieces I have just rambled on about.
