Wonderland?

After looking at the lists of words the first set that jumped out at me were; Hair-Suite i was discussing hair and a suggestion came up to have a look at Meret Oppenheirn, fur cup, spoon and saucer (1936). As soon as i saw the image by Meret Oppenheirn it reminded me of an object that would be found at the mad hatters tea party, in Alice in Wonderland.I also found a few other photos of objects that were made of hair, that are quite disgusting;





I searched on the Internet for images of Alice In Wonderland, to give me inspiration... when i came across a photo-shoot done in 2003 for Vogue magazine, the photographer was Annie Leibovitz. Below are a few of the photos.


I then came up with an idea of making a short film/slide show of a similar theme to Alice in Wonderland, about a young girl on a journey. I then realised that maybe my choice of words were the wrong ones and after looking back over them decied that my idea had drifted away from hair-suite and was now a lot more suited to flow-course.

Flow- flow being the way i put my work together, a set of images or videos merging into one another to create a smooth running film.
Course- and course being the way throughout the sequence of images the young girl is on some kind of course or a journey,having a beginning a middle and an end like a story.
