At first, I tried Sellotape and it didn't hold up the object the way I wanted to. Then I tried using tabs of paper between the pieces of card to keep them together but able to bend, but then I realised the object changed position quite a lot when using this method of keeping it together, so I decided to put two wires between the photograph pieces and the block coloured paper pieces. This kept the object in the position I wanted it to be and I was able to view the object, cut up. But the 3D form was also able to look good in its own right.
I liked using the photograph with this object. There is something interesting to me about using a photograph in creating something new and different from reality/what was in the photograph.
I liked this trial and error because no matter if I am discarding something in the end, I am still learning something about construction somehow, even if subconsciously. I am enjoying the way this project is going so far but I know I need to go faster. After tomorrow (Friday) I will only have one week till the end of the project. I will need to go faster if I want to have enough objects by the final day.
I think I need to stop thinking about things so much and just do them; in the time I have spent thinking about how to make objects I could have made more than I have now. Trial and error is a good way of getting through this, because I know I will learn something and get faster at making things in the future when doing trial and error but not when just sitting deciding how to do something.
