Project Ideas

With this project I wanted to carry on with the ideas from my old project of fading memories and impermanence. However I would like to develop it further to link in with Conceal and Reveal.

- Revealing memories that may have been forgotten 

- Focusing on impermanence, how quickly things change/come and go 

Methods to Explore Ideas 

Polaroids 

- The presences of light/fixing

- Fading with development 

Destruction 

- Natural such as weather 

- Fire (Irreversible) 

Using Impermanent Subjects 

- Smoke

Like Word, Image, Sequence, I began the Conceal and Reveal project by creating several mind maps, based on the words given to me in the project brief.

Final Major Project

Overall this course has not only helped me grow as an artist, but as a person as well and it’s something I will forever be grateful for. Even though I am sad this part of my journey is over, I can't wait to start the next chapter at university.

BRING ON THE NEXT CHALLENGE!

Finished Exhibition Piece 

I am so happy with how this piece turned out I feel it creates a dramatic atmosphere with is something I tried hard to create. Conceptually, I think it explains my ideas well:

- Mental Struggle portrayed visually

- The feeling of Implosion and Claustrophobia 

- The feeling of being overwhelmed 

However, I think it does this subtlely leaving room for people to interpret it as they wish. I feel this is the best piece of work I have ever created and I am extremely proud myself as I have worked tirelessly to achieve the outcome.
