Forgotten // Solution 2

This is the second solution to my A2 art coursework. Click HERE for full summary, from solution 1. 

The second solution again aimed to achieve an eerie atmosphere, this time through the idea of 'Shadows' - when you walking alone, maybe through a wood, and it feels like someone is following you, that your not alone, yet you cannot see anyone. Artist inspiration from Gormley's figured, one located in my local city.

Achieved by using thick tracing paper with pen drawings of 'eerie' old looking trees, layered up with cutout sections and figured 'hiding'. Figures were later cut, generated on the 2D Design programme from photographs I had taken, onto a grey 'clear' acrylic plastic and wrapped with silver wire. This combination created interesting shadows.

Photographic Series

 

Developing my interest in photography, I completed a set of photographic series. Within these series I manipulated, layered and worked into my photographs.

 

The series featuring natural floral imagery, I experimented with tracing paper layers and cut outs in order to enhance particular areas and textures in the photographs. With left over 'cut outs',  I photographed the flowers through the circle 'gap' giving a blurred effect.

 

I created a series of photographic responses to the work of Eduardo Recife. Here I have used paints and stencils to layer and overlap the imagery. Typography has also been included in the outcomes. 

 

'Altering Reality' - a the trio of 'Oxford knitting' photographs. The Oxford knitting added a unique twist on the iconic surrounding in my local area, I was hugely excited to have come across this and have photographed and developed further by simplifying the Radcliffe Camera  and surrounding buildings.

 

 I also experimented with beach photography by working into the images with beach 'doodles' and quotations. In this silhouette image I added a stereotypical seaside quotation, the typography followed the direction of a wave.

Riot

 

For this project I researched into layered scenery and puppetry, eventually developing the idea of creating a layered piece to represent the St Scholastica Day riot - something local to me.

 

For this project I used the 2D design programme and laser cutter to create the layers, which I put together with foam strips, allowing shadows to form from the red backlit frame.

Oxford Travel

 

Given the umbrella theme 'Apart and/or Together', I chose to look closer at travel and came up with a brief to advertise Oxford.

 

The project was inspired by my local area, as I live locally to Oxford.
