Visual Language, 12 Hats -- OUAN404

I decided to base my 12 images on the drawing of a bowler hat on a stand. I have always liked the image of a hat-stand - they are sort of archaic and obsolete these days as people don't wear formal hats as often as they used to, but they are still nice objects. For my images I drew a very rudimentary and basic hatstand with charcoal, and the hats were drawn on with different pens, pencils and paints that were used in the original 24 sketches. I like the image of a single hat on a stand, but also, by drawing the same stand in each image, the suggestion that there are a variety of hats for different occasions, perhaps belonging to the same person. I am also reminded of a sort of "customise your character" screen from video-games like the Sims in which you could cycle through multiple items of clothing.
