I was wrapped around in my drawing of silhouette, I sat in a chair with my hand held high. I explored how colour might affect the results.
This first one on the right the colours are bright and inviting but I am locked in possibly looking for help. I wanted to imitate the drawing by lifting my hand upwards, however on reflection my hands are too upright and it doesn’t feel equivalent to the drawing, I now feel it’s incongruent to the original drawing. What can I take away for this? The body shows moment in different ways, although in my mind I thought it was the same . I looking at it later objectively I understood the difference. The original silhouette was my body lying on a table relaxed with no effort from my body as opposed my hands standing straight up in the air is a more forced version and looked different in performance.
Researching I came across Body Webb using a person in his sculptures and looked at how it interacts with the sculpture
Above Body Webb uses a body in his sculpture, to me it looks like the foot of an elephant standing on a persons head like he’s going to be killed execution style. The person is holding a gun in his hand, possibly to kill the elephant.
I’m not sure of my thoughts on it but I can see how a person in his sculpture give it a different meaning and makes it more relatable .
