This sample was about experimenting with my prints and
playing around with the combination and how my prints would be positioned and
displayed. I wanted to experiment with the positioning of my work as I wanted
to use the theme of confusion in relation with Alzheimer’s in the presentation
of my work. As I want my pieces to be used as public art in a hospital or
doctor’s waiting room, I wanted to take in account on how my final pieces would
be perceived. I know from waiting around in doctors and dentists waiting rooms
that posters and work of art on the wall are observantly looked at. To create
the feeling of confusion through my work, I took 2 separate prints that I had
done on different backgrounds using different processes and played around rearranging
them, trying to find the right combination. This is the first one I came up
with and it may be the strongest! Even though the faces look stretched because
of the placement of the prints, it looks distorted adding to my projects theme.
Using different backgrounds/fabrics with different processes can show an
endless amount of possibilities, this sample worked especially well because of
the colours used, a dark textured pink alongside the aubergine foil worked
wonders.
The first experiment with playing around with positioning
looked distorted because the faces were so stretched out as I used both of the
full prints. I decided to cut it up the same way as the first one but take out
every other one and replace it with the every other one from another print,
meaning only half of each print would be used. The 2 prints for these
experiments were of my brothers and sisters, 1 print of them young and 1 print
of them being old. I decided to stick to this combination because it related to
an aspect of what my Nana told me about my Great-Granddad who suffered from Alzheimer’s,
he remembered people from when they were young but he couldn’t remember their
most recent faces.
