Fragments of Ilkeston is the title of my structure project. It is an exploration of architectural buildings, sculptures and historical landmarks. I wanted to take parts of Ilkeston that I found aesthetically pleasing or historically interesting and make them into art. I thought it would it help to romanticise the town of Ilkeston more because when I took my first trip there the city felt very empty and desolated. However, as I looked around me I saw that were so many interesting buildings, historical landmarks and sculpture in Ilkeston that were just beautiful. I even went back there again to take some more pictures of the town.
I guess the whole aim of my theme is allow the viewer to see Ilkeston in an artistic and historical manner. Also, to display the theme of nostalgia and my experience from being in the town itself. Taking random parts of the town and making it into artwork really did help me to appreciate the beauty of it.
