Artist Statement
The movie that I chose was Song of the Sea for my dinner set up. The premise is about two kids discovering one of them is a selkie and goes on an adventure to save other Celtic beings. What I wanted to mainly focus on is the selkie aspect. The story is when a woman puts on her seal coat, she turns into a seal, and return to the sea. That certain mythical creature is the main drive of the movie as the kids learn from a past they didn’t know. In the dinner scenario, the background is fur to represent the coat of the selkie. Within the fur, there are seashells hidden within. You have to look closely in order to find them. Following with the theme of secrets, the wooden box represents a chest of the coat that was kept hidden in the movie. The key on top is literally and figuratively the key to unlocking the past. The rope that leads from it to the bottom is the tie that keeps the past and presents connected. The three plates relate to the ocean, the bundled up rope coming from fishing boats, the rocks you find at the breach, and seashells roped tightly with the rope. The blue plate in the middle goes with the color theme of the movie that mainly has cool colors.
