Practice - Final Pyramids

'Distorted heights' 2016

  

  

Practice - more pyramids

with my pyramids i want to make a piece that has a close gathering of pyramids in the middle and gradients outwards. i experimented with the idea and created a mock-up using 5cm high pyramids. the piece was successful and achieved the look i wanted. from face on wards it looks two dimensional but as you move around it it you begin to see its dimensions clearly. 

to further develop this piece i started experimenting with the heights of the pyramids. from head on they still look flat but the piece becomes more interesting with different heights as you begin to start having to look around each pyramid to see the next. the pyramids at different heights distort the image of the chandelier even more, making this more successful.

my intentions for my final piece is to make this piece a lot bigger so that the observer has more to look at and overload them almost with shard like images.

Studio - Family photos

in the crit the photos id combined together of my grandparents wedding got the best feedback so i have decided to return to this and develop this side of my practice and move away from flowers to focus more on the generations/family aspect. 

i found and scanned images of family photos of when i was young which were in colour and different to my first collage.

i tried it in black and white to see if it would have the same effect as the first one but because the images are clearly more modern the black and white effect does not work as well. when i present the series i'd like to see the progression through time and i think changing from black and white to colour photography is a big part of this.
