Final Piece Pt.2

  I used the artificial flowers and broken glass to hang from the ceiling. I wrapped them in wire and used a hot glue for more support. I hung them from hooks with the long spike flower in the middle as i view that one as the most poisonous as it does not deceive the dreamer by looking colourful. Its just hidden amongst the other flowers. I wanted to hang these from the ceiling to act as a dream catcher. The broken glass represent the sharp barrier the dreamer makes to protect them self from the anxiety in the real world.

     A friend of mine said that the installation looks like a waterfall which i thought was interesting due to its sharp nature. Additionally, how waterfalls are peaceful and feed the plants around them as water is needed to grow. In the term of dreaming the waterfall could represent triggers that feed into the daydream.

To develop this i need to consider a way to conceal the installation to create a barrier. I could use purple or blue fabric that is very translucent so viewers can see through. I could nail it into the ceiling so it hangs around the installation as a barrier to show how anxiety is what fuels the dreaming. It could also connect to represent a blanket and a bed where most people would dream.

Crete: Drawings

    I took a sketchbook with me to Crete, on the plane i doodled this out of boredom. Using coloured pens i created random patterns and lines to draw out the front of a girl. Then using black Biro i added outlines and scribbled her hair and over onto the back of the page. To me this shows a process of turning boredom and negative emotions into creativity and art. The scribbles become less and eventually turn into the colourful patterns before fading completely. I really like the idea conveyed in this drawing, however i dont like the basic cartoon style as i think it shows my lack of drawing skills. The whole piece looks like a doodle and a bit messy. Especially with how the scribbles come out of the hair. I think recreating this with paint would create a better outcome. Instead of patterns it would be a strong mix of bright colours that is faded together like a light cloud. Compared to a mix of black and grey at the back with drips and harsh lines. I could also add some delicate sewing

Artist- Mara Light

       Whilst looking at Jenna Andersons art i came across the artist Mara Light. Lights work Focuses on young women in rough, aged appearing paintings. The artists creates beautifully detailed paintings of girls that almost look like porcelain dolls, however the painting itself looks rough and marked up with drips in her work. The contrast of perfection and a sense of neglect to the work conveys the women with the feeling of loss and abandonment. Possibly exposing how their lives are not perfect despite their appearance.       Mara Lights work really captures my attention with the texture as well as the emotions conveyed in the work through the women and their body language. They all look hopeless and lost and all have a story of their own. I have pictured myself creating some artwork with a similar style to Lights and now by using Lights work as a preference i have a chance to look at the details in the rough areas to try and recreate as well as add on extra materials for inst
