Now I decide to exhibit my jewellery on white background because viewers’ attention will not distract by complex layout. However, white background separates street context from jewellery, which is harder for viewers to understand my inspiration. To improve the layout, I decide to test out a few different layouts and ask peoples’ preferences. Or I could photograph jewellery on streets communicate my urban context through images. Alternatively, I will also look at artistic displays that show narrative.
I am not satisfied with the rings because they are not shinny enough to contrast with street found stones. Visual contrast is the key for my jewellery the stronger the contrast is the more attention people will pay to jewellery. I will repolish those rings with fabric polishing mop and go though them with metal paste before the exhibition.
Alternative questions:
How can I represent the street feeling through display?
How to attract viewers attention?
