The image of the sofa is from Festival Hall at the Southbank festival. I found this really inspiration, as the public really liked the concept of gigantic furniture. I like the idea of playing with scale, and making things bigger or smaller than what they would actually be usually. I also like the use of different materials, as they used astroturf here. I feel that if the furniture was normal size, it wouldn't of had the same impact of people as it did being oversized.
The image of the graffiti, was underneath the festival hall were kids from all ages go to skate on their skateboards and hang out. It is a place for their expression. The walls are covered in graffiti everywhere you look, they repaint over it, add to it, and they all contribute to the walls, as a community this is were they all come together. As I will be looking at street art for my dissertation, I feel this image is a good starting point. I like the way you look at the art and not the people who do it. People judge areas like these as places were 'yobs' go. I see it as talent, expression and art.
