I have been
exploring the theme of despair. I want my work to have real emotion to
it, in order for it to be engaging for the audience. Using mark making,
I spent a day creating work that was more visceral than previous, with
bold strokes and more physical drawing. I allowed myself no breaks, no
talking, no eating or drinking- so that the work would have more emotion
to it. It was also interesting working within the confines of strict
parameters, as the future vision that I am trying to create would be
strict itself in what would be permissible. In addition to this, I have
been taking photography of various symbolic imagery and moments of
despair and pain acted out for me by a friend. Hopefully this emotion should translate well into my drawings. |
