Another point that I didn’t mention was that the images have to be based on Industry Vs Culture (whilst still being Still Life of course). So, with that in mind and based on my research and my inspiration from Stephanie Gonot and Irving Penn, here are some examples of Still Art that I took:

I feel like these images could represent Industry Vs Culture due to the symbolism of the pieces. The eggs represent the culture and the chess pieces represent industry. In my images, the chess pieces are in the eggs, this could be argued that the industry is dominating the culture (in this example agriculture). The eggs are more or less destroyed by the chess pieces and that could be argued as the over-growing power of industry and capitalism.
I haven’t yet edited these images and I feel like the background is possibly too textured as it clashes with the blue print of the plate in the final images. I also feel like these images are pretty odd and most people won’t understand what the message is; I wanted to create something unique but I don’t want the message to get lost.

I also took this image in my kitchen; the banana is balanced on the hob. I really like this photo as the darkness of the hob contrasts with the brightness of the banana. I also like how out of place the red lipstick is; I would like to somehow incorporate this image within my orange photos of eggs and chess pieces. I think this describes Industry vs Culture because the lipstick is representative of women and the banana is typically an innuendo and a phallic image. Industry vs Culture therefore is how the Industry has sexulised both the representation of females and how cultural society is combatting that by destroying the phallic imagery.

I have a lot of mixed ideas about this project.
