I remember my nanna sat on a rocking chair with a bag of knitting at the side of her. Nanna's house was like the hub, or meeting place for the family and when she went, God bless her soul, the closeness in the family went with her.
For my final piece I want to recreate this meeting place that is my nanna's house. I'm going to use this picture for inspiration.
(NEED TO SCAN IMAGE!!)
The main feature for my installation is going to be a rocking chair like nanna Ada's that I'm going to re-upolster. I might be being a little bit optimistic given the timescale and my budget, but I'd also like to recreate the lamp, only the lampshade will be filled with photographs and memoribilia from nanna's life. I also want a bag of knitting and a family album to be on the chair. I want my installation the be an interactive piece of art work, I want my audience to be able to sit in the chair and flick through the family album, maybe start some knitting and get a real feel for my nanna's life.
