More Photoshop Experiments

Chinese and African Arnolfini Recreations

Adding more of the traditions into my Photoshop pieces. 

This piece is full of all different traditions out of all the cultures I researched at the start of the project. The main base of this piece is my Chinese Arnolfini recreation.

Russian - Calender of May (Do not Wed)

Christian - Lucky Horseshoe

German - Saw (Cutting the Wood)

Scottish - Tartan Pattern on the Bride

Spanish - 13 Coins

Jewish - Breaking the Glass

Scottish - Sixpence in her Shoe

Moving On...

I realised that paper origami isn't the best way forward (trial & error) so I wrote two lists of what I needed to symbolises some of the traditions. Sticking to the table idea inspired from Yinka Shonibare I intent to create a table full of objects symbolsing the traditions of African and Chinese weddings. I also may want my piece to be interactive and get the public to taste what they have to taste in the ceremony so it makes the public feel like they are a part of it. I don't know whether that would be a good plan yet!? Still working on it.
