Saturday morning, and my regular rummage through the local charity book shop led to a chance find of a collection of old cinema promotional photographs and postcards. I've been aware that a connection with the body is essential to my practice, but it's not always practical to be both maker and model. Working with the anonymity of photographs might be an alternative solution.
I anticipated that the photographs would act as mute, static models for my found object jewellery, but more significantly, I have realised they are found objects in their own right. It is proving much more exciting to use them to create more collisions and connections.

Hey Vanda...I am not sure about what you are saying...I do understand the artist maker/model does not suit you...but what I am wondering here is...why old photos? Like..Scarlett..what do old photo bring in your imagination?Is it an attempt for you..to bring the past back..such as old icons...through the reading of found objects..that people won't recognise otherwise? ..love nina xx
