Jack The Ripper Diorama
As a Final Work assignment for my Storytelling course I had to capture the mood I´d created from one of my earlier works I did for Storytelling. What´s a better way to capture a mood than making a diorama? I decided to base my diorama on a story of Jack The Ripper I wrote. The lower part of the diorama presents a prostitute waiting for the men of Whitechaple to come out of the pubs and spent a few sherling on her. It's a cold night in a abbonend alley. The wind blows an old newspaper around, the streetlight which she stands under is broken, a perfect oppertunity for the Ripper... The upper part presents a Ripper crime-scene. It's also a dirty, abbonend ally with a broken window, a broken wall with weeds growing out of it. There's a Wanted poster for the Whitechaple murderer with bloodstains on it, there's a big bloodstain on the wall and the words Jack Was Here are written in blood on the wall.... I had only six days to make this, along with all the other school stuff I had to do, so it's kind off a rushjob. Build in 1 day and painted in 1 day. There's no miniature of Jack the Ripper, because I couldn't find a suitable mini in time. But maybe that's for the best, the Ripper could never be captured, not even in a diorama...
