Throughout the semester I was lucky enough to discuss my work with my photography professor, Kate Pollard. We worked together over the past year developing my ideas and she helped me a lot with the presentation of my work as well. During our final critique of my work in the gallery we discussed placement and presentation of the sculptural piece (the dress) and the photographs. We tried to put ourselves in the position of the outside viewer to come to conclusions about what message is being presented.
Many agree that my dress could stand alone as a piece in itself, and deliver it's own message along with the title (Wasteful Wedding). The photographs look a bit less overdramatized and it was suggested that if i was to continue this idea, that the images are just as dramatic and exaggerated as the dress itself. (Though that was a great point!)
