other influences- museums/themeparks
Every year at Easter time my family head down to Cornwall to stay for a couple of weeks, this is definitely one of my favourite childhood memories and annual traditions. Looking back and trying to remember things to focus on with my art work I suddenly remembered visiting the Flambards Victorian village, it's almost like a walk through museum that transports you back in time with wax figures placed within the buildings, old fashioned sweet shops and Pharmacies. Streets that stunk of horse manure and the smells of fresh bread pouring out of the houses. One thing that really grabbed my attention was the idea that placing artificial smells through a museum could create an atmosphere that makes you believe you are really there. It would be really cool if I could incorporate this into my final major project. Being able to make smells trigger memories. http://www.flambards.co.uk/exhibitions/victorian-village/
