Ooze Photo series
This photographic series also relates to the one week "Ooze" brief. Whilst exploring Ooze as a theme I realised one of the ooziest parts of the body is the mouth, and I looked into a lot of the connotations of the mouth and tongue- finding that in different cultures it is considered another pleasure organ, thus being both offensive and sexual to different cultures, but they can also represent speech, as well as gluttony. Whilst exploring other aspects of ooze I had chosen to use honey and so for this piece I chose honey as I liked the colour, viscosity and the clear qualities it has; as I was setting up for those photos I then had the idea to use gum as well as I liked the oozy qualities it possesses.
This idea was independently developed and carried out at home.
