For our final two days in this workshop, we were tasked with completing a final piece. I really wanted to challenge myself. Therefore I picked a medium I have very little knowledge of or experience with – paint.
For this piece, we were tasked with keeping to the theme of transformation. For me, I interpreted that as transforming various elements of work created over the last couple weeks to create one big project. For this piece, I used mainly paint, mixing my own colour to allow for a more rounded feel. I am very pleased with my final outcome. Obviously, if I had more time I would have been able to edit and reconstruct more elements of my work but for what I was able to complete I am satisfied with. I am also happy I took the risk of building upon my piece by adding more abstract work overtop. Although I was very hesitant to do so in fear of it not feeling as polished or well executed. I feel it added some much needed depth and visual interest to my work, also allowing for less pressure to be placed upon created a ‘beautiful’ outcome, but instead one that pushed boundaries and showed use of various techniques and ideas!
Below are photos taken on my photo book titled – My Explore Page. This book is themed around the huge difference between posts as you scroll through your feed on apps such as Instagram. It explores very different subjects and different topics. I have added excerpts taken from various magazines that i feel connect to the images and the overall content on social media in general. I am very very happy with my work. If I was to do it again, i would 100% of got my photos printed professionally to allow for more definition to my photos, and a overall better viewing experience.
*I had also completed two colour studies using this technique, however, when collecting my work from the foundation room, they were no longer there. I created a blue piece detailing a moon over the ocean. For my second piece, I layered yellow and blue ink to create a duplicate effect based on the mannequin within our assemblage!
I am super happy with the work I was able to complete. I’m very happy with the cohesive feeling of the set of photographs and I feel it conveyed my story well!
