This week I worked from my own photos and photos that i found triggered an emotion from myself. I want to provoke a feeling of uncomfortableness that i first felt when i looked at the Hussaidn Chalayan image.
I started by choosing imagery that has become famous through media coverage. I chose to use gouche paints to soften the images, from the results I am now interested in other methods to change an image but keep the message within them. I could try zooming into th eimage to make it unrecognisable but keep elements of the most important parts to allow you to refer back to. For example, In the above image red could be the main colour going throughout the pattern but the statement green eye could be centered in the middle.
I am beginning to build up a group of images that i can begin to work on to experiment on, I want to take my experimentation further and use other methods to manipulate, this may be through embroidery or the laser cutter.
These images are strong because i have been able to develop my own way of working, I was inspired by Jenny Saville and her method of painting freely and capturing emotion but from my development I am able to see how i want these images to progress.
