Car boot collections

For my final major project I have chosen to curate collections of object I collect from car boot sales around the country. I found inspiration to start my own collections when I attended my first car boot sale. I found the obects that were on sale intruiging, each one seemed to have a story to tell, layers of dirt from years of standing untouched, or from being passed from grubby hand to grubby hand.

These objects that were once sitting in a shop waiting to be purchased suddenly seemed so forlorn piled into carboard boxes or onto fold out tables in an unused muddy, puddly car park. Their stories changed then, and they will continue to chance whilst they are in my care. I intend on experimenting with curatorial practices, and pushing the boundaries of what we know as art and an exhibition.
