FMP final images, finally uploaded!

Okay, so I realised I never actually posted my final images of my show all put up. And although it was a very long time ago.. I spose I better them them :)

As you know it was all about portraying the 5 Jack the Ripper victims as garments, and i wanted my installation to look like the streets of WhiteChapel as this where the murders took place.

I started by covering the walls and ceiling with black fabric to make it dark and eerie and essentially like a street at night.

I layed paving slabs on the floor to act as cobbles as in this time they didnt have tarmac'd roads, they just had cobbles. the lighting was very dim at night, they had only tiny gas lanterns which were placed around the city, which infact only shone a 5 metre radius around them, so as you can imagine White Chapel was a perfect habitat for a sick minded murderer to get to work.

I layed out my work within the area so that my audience could walk inside and feel like they were actually there, I hung all the jewellery on one of the first walls, the same with my leaflets, so my audience was informed as to what my work was actually about.

The jewellery is made from real bones (chicken) and the chains are just metal. I used chains to hang the garments, and chicken wire for the body to wrap the garments around because it added eerieness to the installation, and this didnt draw any attention away from the chains, but added to the scary feel I was going for.

So here you are..









Here are some shots from my photoshoot, Model- Victoria Wayman



(You may be wondering why she's eating grapes, but this was believed to have been Jack the Rippers leur for his voctims, as they were very expensive, and it helped the victims to trust him)

Grade- D*D*D*
