FINAL WEEK BEFORE ASSESSMENT (WEEK 6):
So with the images above, they are apart of my final work that I will be showing.
These pieces are probably my favourite pieces because they are made up of small paintings of images from back home (Philippines) which were inspired by Jacob Maentz’ photography work. Whenever I look at it, it makes me miss my family members back home. It makes me feel sad also because of how the people that live in Baguio, Philippines are slowly loosing this view and farming atmosphere due to the demolishment of trees and establishment of houses and Philippines being overpopulated.
This thought then brought to me the idea of deforestation. Which also feels like it would work well and show that contrast with my following industrial feel of silver book pieces.
With the end of semester 1 coming up, I also had my final lab to experiment with. In the print lab, I was able to make my own frame to print on.
This is an image of the final outcomes which came out quite nice. (Side note: It’s not my design but an illustrator that I admire.)
Also, if I had more time to experiment with the print lab, I think that the fabric paintings shown above would have been interesting to create into a print and this is something I could consider for next times work.
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF WORK:
Going back to one of my earlier works, I came back to this weaving work and I took the sticks and spray painted them gold to also show the contrast between traditional/old and industrial/new.
As I was setting up my work, I did not think that it would work alongside the other works, so I decided to make it one of my supporting works instead.
