Project Lies

We were asked to prepare for today so I made a list of lies that are told to children, serious lies, silly tell tales etc.. It turns out there are many more types of lies than just speech as I found out when we went through a slide show of other artists that have used a form of lie in there work. Such as a lift small enough for a mouse but when photographed looks just like an ordinary lift and small cardboard and paper sets that look real life. For the time being I stuck with drawing out some examples from my preparation but all the while keeping in mind of other aspects of lying. Below are a few of my initial sketches including answering the question; “where do babies come from?” eating disorders, embellishment, pregnancy and surgery.
