After looking at Christian Boltanski's work I am inspired by his way of working, and how he portrays his interests in traces. Although his work is to do with the Holocaust, it is the fact that he is looking at something that is not there anymore that is relevant to my work. His work also varies from being very literal, to being subtle in its meaning.
I think by looking at his work, it will broaden my ideas about my project, because at the moment I feel I am looking at it from a very one dimensional point of view. Perhaps I don't need to reproduce the traces, maybe just emphasize them with particular lighting, or create shadows like Boltanski that lead the eye to this trace of what once was.
