These paintings hold a value in scale and contrast between the painting on the canvas and the personal items I work with. It highlights the contrast in value and importance towards an item. A painting on canvas is recognised as a traditional way of creating art and known to hold value in a gallery to a large audience of people. My grandma's locket holds value to her and those closest to her but to no one else. Taking the locket and producing it with paint on a canvas gives it a new sense of value to a new type of audience.
