in My Work, Project 2

POV Initial Research

 

-Oh my gosh I realised I saved this as a draft without posting it-

The first thing that came to mind when I was researching on this project was the idea of angles and how certain angles could bring out a different perspective of an object/subject matter. So I began researching on angled/optical art. But when I thought about it I realised that I didn’t have to be limited to optical illusions but I could also lay layers over so that once moved it could reveal a different image.1

My initial explorations led me to exploring the female breasts. Initially I wanted to take on a more light-hearted and comedic tone but then i realised that if I could balance that with a message behind the comedy it would be more effective that way.

I wanted to create something that was visually similar to Banksy’s artworks where there is a sense of grim comedy that really gets to you.

Boobs from the point of view of a teenager is transformation/change

Boobs from the point of view of a transgender is identity

Format/Layout : 

For Layout I would like to present it in a book/magazine format and was thinking of incorporating typography in the works to further enhance the message.

Something like this. But I wanted to go for an illustration style where the subjects are not photographed.

 

Initial Plans :

Boobs from the point of view of a transgender is identity

I wanted to mount a male head on top of a female mannequin’s body to show how eventhough the body and head are separate they still come together to form the identity of a person

Boobs from the point of view of a baby is food

For this I wanted to use a milk bottle to represent baby’s food but replace the feeding rubbery part with a breast.

 

Boobs from the pov of a plastic surgeon is a blueprint/work of art/clay

Thinking of overlaying blueprints over the body.

 

Boobs from the point of view of a teenager is transformation/change

Not so sure about this idea yet

 

 

Colour :

Colours also play an important role for me because the mood i want to suggest also heavily relies on the colour since I will be illustrating. So I would probably contrast the colours with the image. E.g if I am presenting a gory image maybe I could use vibrant colours or if I am presenting a comedic image but with dark, desaturated colours. I feel like this balance would also contribute to the dark humour I want to portray.

In Banksy’s works there is also an apparent high level of contrast and I feel like this adds to the grim atmosphere of the work.

 

Symbolism/Depiction of Subject Matter :

I felt like with my subject matter, breasts, I had to be careful because I did not want it to end up crude and tasteless and at the same time I did not want it to be a work which did not visually convey the subject matter clearly.

Like what my classmates said in class it cannot be portrayed too ‘in your face’ and it turns out looking cheesy and cheap and it can’t be too symbolic either where the entire subject matter is not communicated through the work.

So I began looking for things that resembled my subject matter.

 

I’m still exploring so hoping I find a path

 

 

I feel like the these 3 components would be important to me in this project :
