Crossing

A context?

The end is near, time to bring it all together.

Here is my main idea for the Big things:
I want them to both inhabit an existing and create a space of their own.
So I was planning to position them in two different environments, using photography to capture/assist?
First type of environment would be parklands...a forrest like place as a throw back to the original settings of fairytales. The forrest being used as a metaphor for many things dark and immoral. A park or treed area is a nod to the traditional surrounds, and enables the critters to inhabit an existing space. They don't seem out of place. Ask questions, make remarks if agree, not agreed, etc. Please!
Second environment using the city street scape, the alleys. The backstreets are the forrest of today. Don't stray from the path, go straight to grandma's house...danger lurks in the forrest...

Ok, so with the two different settings, I thought photography could be a good way to capture the contrast and draw out the similarities. tradition/updated, plant lush natural/concrete urban artificial...
Please add any thoughts on this.

The extra small ones, the miniatures (3 X 5 styles)
SOmeone in class suggested planting them in toy sections of unsuspecting stores. Perhaps? or perhaps leaving them around in no specific place, tagged with and email or web address for a finder (if found) to contact and leave some sort of response/photo/other...
THoughts/improvements/criticisms please

The small ones:
These are to be boxed/pinned like the butterfly or insect displays a museum has.
The box is rather plain, painted card stitched corners acetate front, I don't knwo really what to do with these. I was thinking to affix them to an alley wall, or someplace around the city, Inside tagged once again with contact details or something??

SO yes any remarks, thoughts, improvements, dislikes anything at all. Please leave a comment!!
