Ah Bed, Bath and Beyhond.. not a place which usually answers my prayers. However last weekend it did, as I did not relaise how painful it would be to locate sponges in New York. Never the less I took to massacring them to create the word 'YOUTH', in the same font from our digital based typography work. For me, the colour, texture and context of this medium fitted perfectly with the meaning of my chosen word.
I had planned to balance these sponges on top of the bubbles. However cut short when I realised that the sponges would absorb, weighing them down to the surface of the water.. obvious I know, but at that moment practictality slipped my tired brain.
Above was my final composition. For the top photo I merely crouched to the surface of the water to achieve the right angle, then tampered with exposure and other photoshop elements to achieve a more suitable hue.
For the below 'comic-strip' like series I unplugged the bath and let the water drain, taking a photo (the camera static) every ten seconds - Tah Dah!
