Subverted Objects 1: 'shroom' inspired headpiece

Friday, 2 December 2011



I made this when I was at college last year studying art and design. I had to make a subverted object. (subvert: to change the meaning of something.) Im obsessed with horror films and everything strange and weird, so I started to research Paddy Breathnack's film 'SHROOMS.' I liked the idea of magic mushrooms, my inspiration and idea for this was the black tipped mushrooms. These mushrooms look like they have eyes on the end of them. When out for a walk I came across an oak tree and found the empty shells where the acorns used to be. I used these and google eyes to create this eerie 'shroom' inspired headpiece.
