My initial drawings started off as collages, and consisted
of very graphics based features. I proceeded by wanting to accentuate the
shapes that occurred within my primary photographs. This was combined with
blocks of imagery that I’d either found in magazines/ newspapers, or were taken
from my first set of photographs. I love the subtlety of the outlines I’ve
drawn myself in contrast with the blocks of shape and colour. Colour was one of
the things I didn’t concentrate on when creating these images, as I was still
considering my colour palette. One thing I did pick up on however, was the
bright and flashy colouration (mostly misrepresented in the colouration of my
photographs), something I feel I may want to continue with.
I specifically like the drawing below due to the
juxtaposition in shape form. I feel that the curved lines against the parallel
straight lines particularly complement each other, especially in the way they
are picked up within the pattern of the block image and carried on throughout. I
plan to start looking at and creating much more compositional imagery that can
relate better to ‘edges’, something that I can generate within weave and embroidery.
