string/wire connections, linking together, linking people together.

reminds me of planets/solar system, something scientific.

Platform Exhibition Millennium Gallery Sheffield

I visited the Platform exhibition at the Millennium Gallery today, below are the pieces which most stood out to me.

(image on RIGHT) I liked natural and environmental aesthetic this piece has. I was interested in the connection between the image and the wooden board, I thought it linked very well.

As someone who takes trains regularly and has had many ticket collections, this stack on train tickets grabbed my attention, I liked the simplicity of it, appropriating an everyday and ordinary object into a gallery space, taken out of context to be viewed, usually a throwaway item, the tickets have been stacked and contained and protected.

I liked the playful composition of these pieces and also that selected areas have been used, rather then the entire space.
