Having explored the Hunterian Museum this inspired to capture a clinical element within my work, therefore I was using Glass Jars to present my work within. This held a strong force, holding the fluid suggestive to the amniotic fluid bag. The materials within are delicate and flesh like creating a sense of realism. The colour pallet is blood like create a revolting atmosphere. The media I have contained, will decay within time as it grows within its habitat, as the jelly substance will go off. The material has steamed the glass, emphasising a sense of presence.

The subject is supported by the finger knitting, creating a sense of reassurance of protection as the blanket form is suggestive to comfort. The texture is delicate and soft creating a homely atmosphere highlighting the amniotic fluid bag protecting the fetus.

I was experimenting with a sense of movement within the piece, to highlight the spiritual energy of the unborn fetus. I wanted to capture strong detail, to create a uncomfortable atmosphere intimidating the audience, which is symbolic of protection. Their almost looks like air bubbles, suggestive of breathing highlighting a element of new life.

I illuminated the subject, intensifying the colour pallet, it almost looks like a blood bag, replicating perhaps veins or the human heart. The light has captured the surface of the glass, highlighting steam within the Jar, suggestive to a presence amongst the unknown.

This piece has captured a epitome of life, the pure blood like colour pallet rushing through creating a sense of life within the fluidity of the amniotic fluid bag. The organic media creates a sense of movement within the piece highlighting the fetes presence.
