ok so everythings changed since my last blog. my tutorial with steven and rory made me realise that suspending the camera isnt helping my concept but rather becomes more about the strings themselves. i think this would be further exagerated in my piece as the parts of the camera are so small and each piece will need at least two threads coming from it. a perfect example is Cornelia Parkers work.

when i saw this at the exhibition at leeds Metropolitan i found myself really interested at the perfect lines that the threads were organised into which i do think took away from the overall piece.

thinking about this has definitely made me reconsider the suspension because her work to a certain extent is about the thread whereas i saw it as a means of looking like it was suspended in mid-air which doesnt work at all. so now got to think about my display and how best to portray my idea to the viewer.
