Project Statement - Personal Language
This semester I have explored the project brief āStoryā through the theme of Personal Language. Personal Language to me, means the personal and unique connotations we have (for things such as objects, words, places, times) and how these associations indirectly tell the story of our lived experiences.
I have drawn from my own Personal Language through poetry, old photographs and objects with sentimental value. In particular, I have focused on cut-out poetry (cutting words from magazines and rearranging them) because I feel it clearly captures my concept; taking words with existing meanings and rearranging them to reflect my own unique connotations.
I have used various mediums in my work such as oil pastels, digital collage, watercolor paint, charcoal, pen and inks.
I have taken inspiration from artists such as Dorothea Tanning and Paula Boon.
