The goal of this week was to build on the process of creating figurative work, tying to blend the aesthetic quality of the tape experiments with the line quality of the acetate transparencies.
Using only transparencies, I attempted to work with both the negative and positive space of the page, using layering as a way to create definition, planes and shadows.
These outcomes brought together the process that had been building over the past three weeks, demonstrating a strong consideration of replicability, an interplay between the sponteneous veining of the paint and its deliberate placement, and a specificity in aesthetics.
This process has the potential to be further refined to create more fidelity, using layers and more minute additions to build the contours of a face. There is also the possibility of shifting the gaze to other objects, to further develop the capacity for figurative representation.
