Statement of Intent

My chosen question for this exam is numbers. We are unaware of how many numbers there are in every day life and experimenting with this question has really opened my eyes.
I am interested in creating still life images that show the numbers we may be unaware of.
I explored the work of a photographer called Chris Jordan who took large scale abstract images of a certain amount of objects that he wanted to represent; e.g. 1.2 million building blocks to represent the number of students who dropped out of school. I found his work unique as I had never seen something like this before, so I wish to use his techniques as inspiration for my work. I shall do this by deciding on themes that link to numbers, and then photograph objects that represent it. For example, the themes I have thought of are bingo numbers, zodiac signs, nursery rhymes and phrases such as 1st the worst, 2nd the best.
