I'm thinking about how I will display my apron. A mannequin is too stiff and formal, and im not sure I want it to be worn as it doesn't belong to any one person its a collective of names so I would like to bring it to life by suspending it with wire. The inspiration for the apron was a ghost/ spirit / white lady so it seems a fitting display.
I've researched Parker in other projects so i know she uses the methods of suspending objects a lot within her work. though her objects are often heavy and substantial and given the feeling of weightlessness by the way they are displayed.
My task is much more simple, however its the contrast of weight, heavy and light that I'm seeing here. my apron is a light weight object yet I'm trying to add weight to it from the heavy fonts and stone, grey graphite used in its decoration, I'm trying to give weight to the faint impressions that remain of these women.
