Giraffe sculpture



So this is the little sculpture i have been working on for a while. I already said that its going to be part of an installation.
I have decided to go crazy on the idea of kitsch and decoration as i am always told that my work is quite decorative in a way, so here i have decided to embrace it.
I like the way it came out,. By being so kitsch so its tacky i think it sort of comments on the idea of over consumption in the modern world, but if put in the context of an installation it should react differently.

So, my plan for the installation is to use some personal things to actually comment on the poem personally, so, i will be taking a bottle of cognac that i drink, the little glass i drink it from and a box of tissues also used by me at home, and, obviously the giraffe.

I think that using everyday things also will minimise the kitschiness of the giraffe, so it should all be perfect together i hope :)
