Doing an exhibition, I would want to create these 3 pieces as a large scale and label it my problematic taboo. The first image is definitely my favourite and would want to print it at a very large scale piece. The other 2 I would want at a ever so slightly smaller scale next to the piece or even the middle one at large scale too. Just because where I think the child is being breast fed in the first image, it has that alert and impact more than the others.
If there was room, I would want to print off my line drawings on vinyl an place them on glass but only as small sample pieces around these images. Ideally I would want to do a sample from each taboo area I have looked at even though a lot of it surrounds the health care and nudity, It is a self journey to find an create that discomfort that I said in my Study proposal. I want to empathise with my work and I thought if I could feel discomfort in creating the piece because of what it is exposing then I have found my taboo and I am not completely de-sensitised.
