 Ellen Bell

This is a sample i crated inspired by Ellen Bell where I used different cut out text related to my subject being my younger sister and used the laser cutter to cut onto the layered text picking up the distinct silhouette my primary image produced.

These are developed pieces I produced when responding to Ellen Bell I created different surfaces in her style adding distinct text and laser cut silhouettes which I then manipulated digitally by blending different aspects together.




 Karl Otto Gotz

These samples were inspired by Karl otto Gotz his work intrigued me when I visited the Tate gallery and wanted to explore it further by responding to his work within my project theme. I decided to respond to his work by using ink and different utensils as he does using distinct patterns I came across in my primary images. The process was quite fun of using different utensils with ink and produced really high contrasts within my pieces. I will further explore these by blending them in to different pieces of my work digitally.

Working On Mixed Media Surfaces.

            Textured Surfaces.

These samples show how I used the aspect of layering onto textured surfaces which I transferred ripped pieces of my primary images to portray a sense of comparison and show different viewpoints. I worked into these with light hand stitching adding more texture and contrast to my work.

These samples were created with similar intentions to the previous work but also explored with a wider variety of texture. To add more texture to these samples I added wax to layer bits of scrim and other materials onto my work.

K. K. DePaul inspired me to produce these outcomes as he uses vintage looking pieces to layer images with. I decided to work with cardboard as it holds quite vintage hues of brown and made it appear quite old by ripping edges and wearing the rough texture down. I used the aspect of Image transfer to layer with and added wire to create distinct markings and texture. 

Fragility.

    These series of outcomes respond to a fragile theme I wanted to portray in this project. I created a photoshoot of my model portraying a fragile and broken expression which I then transferred onto fragile collaged materials such as scrim and frayed canvas. The one I found to be most successful was the piece on the top left corner as it portrays deep emotions using the facial expression of the subject and the most contrasted allowing it to blend in well when transferred onto the set backgrounds.

These are further explored fragile pieces where I used aspects of my Sabrina Ward Harrison's responses to image transfer onto quite fragile surfaces I created with canvas. I worked into them using colour and different materials such as string and wire to add more texture and character to my work.
