WAWWA WEEK 6

The Body

I made some quick ink drawings just in responce to the images and sexual themes i was disscussing and exploring in my work last week. Though I don’t find these to be successful on there own it gave me some space and time to think about if this sexual element was somthing i wanted to continue with or if it had ran its course.

I think the colours red has came up repeatedly in the project as I feel it carries with it this feeling of urgency in as well as this kind of secretive, sexual nightly connotation when i pare it with the dark spaces I am creating (bedroom, darkroom and cutoff spaces)

Feeling Trapped

Following my crit it was picked up on about my use of wire and caged shapes i had exploed right at the beginning of the project. So i decided to play around with it a bit more and use my scanner to see what type of images i could come up with. They hold this feeling of being pushed and uncomfortable.

I Think they work well together as a set of images as well as individually n their own. The contrast of my soft pale flesh and this hard metal work really well in the sense that they have been put together unwillingly and forcefully.

I think if one of the images were to be scaled up to the side of a wall it would amplify the feeling of pressure and urgency for escape.

Using 4 peaces of string the same length as the edges of the paper I was using i played around with mark making to kind of represent the patterns or moments I has making while working in my room (between the four walls). I think they are successful 2D works in the sense of shape and movement and it was a was a good exercise to just play around with materials without having the overthink conceptually or be too concerned with the outcome.
