Making the Set - Picture Frames.

I liked the idea of comedy in a show, I also thought that social class was important in The Beggar's Opera To combine the two on stage I decided to use large (over sized) picture frames, painted in gold and bronze. 

The frames are to represent the quality and hierarchy of those with power over those without. I chose to link two of the frames, one gold and one bronze to demonstrate that the social classes will always intertwine and be around each other. 

I made the frames from black card because I thought that it would give the best surface to stick clay to.
