Experimentation & Development
I feel that a strong theme this track reflects is motion. When I think of motion in music, I think about vibration, sound waves, blurred effects. I was keen to try and develop my dot/line/shape work to try and reflect these themes.
Here I used white chalk on black card and smudged to create a blurred effect.
I used acrylic paint and a pencil rubber to create this circle pattern and was one of my original works from a previous project. I decided to take this method and try different compositions.
I used the same technique here and tried to re-create volume levels. I decided to overlay a plain piece of paper on top, the result is the second image which shows the dots blurring. I really liked how this turned out and felt it captured the motion element I was looking for.
I tried more playful shapes to convey movement, again I overlaid with plain paper to create an additional blurred version of each print
I think the acrylic paint worked well to capture motion in each of these experiments whilst also making them look quite graphic.
