Over the last few weeks I've decided to focus on body language and it's relationship to how we interpret messages, I'd drawn some thumbnails of possible ideas that I could develop into final outcomes and then chose the 5 that I preferred most.
I then created further images from the selected thumbnails, mostly in collage, however I really like the look of the stitch outcome, the combination of the bold stick and mixed grounds work well with the composition. Also, I find the gold digger collage quite interesting, I'd selected an image from a magazine of what I thought a gold digger would look like, blew it up to a3 photocopy, then oiled the image in printmaking, this made the whole sheet transparent whilst making the image a lot darker, this in itself turned out quite nicely, but it also provided a nice background to work type on top of. The idea of the gold digger sign being that it's using "caution" as formal and authoritative language, but in a non formal context, this warps the context of the entire image, changing the whole interpretation of the language!
