Humpty Lamb

I had consultation with Prof. Ina and it was very useful as i was getting lost in what i was supposed to do.

For the Lamb. Prof Ina suggested the I could surround the lamb with lamp chops instead of covering it with lamb chops. Go for a more straightforward connection?

These are some of the variations and compositions i made based on that:

Mary had a little lamb

: I played with the lamb and chops

: infront?

: having some chops eaten to leave negative space

: shifting the lamb around to leave the silhouette of lamb

: removing those at the side to divide up the space and make it cleaner

: tilted lamb

: smaller?

: adjusted the position

: remake of the first one but with a more directed lamb

As i worked on, i realised that it was difficult to work on the rest of the verses for mary had a little lamb. Since i had interesting ideas for humpty dumpty, i decided to create compositions for humpty dumpty instead.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

i continued to play with the space and also the compiled wall

: arches as wall

: seeds as wall

: removing the wall?

: combination

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

The previous composition was a big no-no. I tried with new ideas and found that this would work and it has a very interesting juxtaposition too. Is the person jumping, flying or falling? I also wanted reoccurring elements in the whole set. Hence in this compostion, i used the question mark to replace the wheel, (since human brain can complete the circle by itself) and also the weird object.

: The only completely different one out of this set. continued with the elements from the first composition

: Replaced the wheel with question mark

: would flipping the man around work better

: make more items reoccur! Replaced the head with the weird object.

: how about the whole man

: upper torso?

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men

This was the line that i have the most fun with trying out different compositions.

I made the composition from my first try less messy and more systematic with all the soldiers facing the same direction.

: Other than the eggcups,warrior and charriot, i wanted to try something else. So i used the horses represented in different ways. I like the energy of both lanes. one going in each direction clearly

: Warrior one missing

: reflection has it?!

: I am a warrior too. I like the order of this.

: i wanted to play with our brain completing shapes.

: The lines created by the shield are hinting the egg

: different posiotns

: tried adding clouds to the side as it might feel too plain

: mirror image

: creating a symmetry balance. It is not easy

: negative space of egg implied by the warriors

: closing up the gap

Couldn’t put Humpty together again

This was a tough one for me. I have no idea how to show this but i remembered the weird object. It look like a garlic bulb to me. once i break apart the garlic, I could never piece them back together again. This was where i got my inspiration from.
