Using a frame i picked up in IKEA seven years ago, i created a short series of watercolour painted images of the dreamer breaking out of her fantasy. I used biro and a little fine liner to draw an outline and add detail to the images. I wish i had enough time to develop my painting skill to create shading and more realistic painting of the garden. To develop this i will create some dried poured paint and add it to the end image. I will do this to show how her fantasy has fallen apart and is dripping out as she breaks out.
I wanted to take this picture as my attention was caught by how the light reflected in the plastic. Creating a wavy line across the set of images. It reminds me of moments in films where they show the characters transition as the world changes as they step into a dream or another dimension. I thought it was interesting as the light prevents the viewer from seeing the full image which i have tried with using paint and printing over images. I never thought about using light to cause an interruption. Additionally, the light adds movements as the viewer moves around it.
I took this photo of the end of the frame behind a piece of acetate that i had let ink dry on. Green was the only colour that dried thick enough to see. The acetate blurs the image of the frames and the distraction of the ink means the viewer waits as their eyes adjust to see the details behind it. I really like this as it creates a barrier, showing the dreamers disconnection from reality. As well as how they zone out and watch the world go by. To improve this, i wish i shone a light through to see if the ink would create colourful shadows on the frame. I would also like to produce more colours in the ink on acetate.
