Photography Gallery visit-FMP

Photography Gallery visit

I went to the Photography Gallery around the back of Oxford Street in central London. I thought I would see many works that would inspire me but that didn't happen. However there were a couple that I really enjoyed, that made me instantly think of my own ideas.

Cristina De Middel- Benita, Juarez Puebla, Mexico (2019)

This artwork created by Cristina De Middel is a powerful mix of portrait and landscape. It shows a faded, old-style painting of a man in a suit, but his face has been replaced with a clear photo of a mountain and sky. The sharpness of the landscape stands out against the blurry figure, making the viewer focus on what is inside rather than the outside appearance. To me, the missing face suggests identity, memory, and inner life. It could be saying that a person’s true self is not always visible, and that we all carry a world of thoughts and emotions within us. The mountain might symbolise strength, history or even mystery. The work feels both quiet and powerful, encouraging us to think about what makes us who we are, beyond how we look.

1st test piece of paper cutting- Castle brief

I want to use the vines I created on my previous page for my main piece. I wanted to create a simpler test piece to see how it will work. This link will take you to the process of my  paper cutting  for the lightbox. I am going to move forward with laser cutting my layers as it will cut the layers out alot cleaner and quicker than by me using a scalpel. I need to figure out how I will sketch up the different layers. I'm not sure how I will line up all the layers. Maybe I can use tracing paper so I can see how the layers line up.

Troubles with tracing- Castle brief

-
  Tracing the vines Even though I found difficulties tracing the vines, I still managed to make out a rough guide of the vine and where I couldnt I just made up my own flow of vines. I want to make the landscape I create, look over grown & hard to see things. I want the viewer to feel as though they are peeking through having to move their head from side to side to look over & under the vines.
