1. What have you produced as a final outcome based on your chosen topic and why?
I have produced an A2 size final peice based on my various photo-shoot I have completed throughout this project to help aid my journey on conveying realtionships in various forms of media to help to get the final concept of potraying relationship by use of personification and displaying ones thoughts of a loved one through using the connection of imagery to describe or convey a family mebers presence and relationship between them. I first experimented with just the orthodox ways of displaying relationshi through interactions than I wanted to use objects to convey a sence of connections and family history through the different generations and to create a sence of narrative.
I wanted to use the symoblism object as a spring tree as I think that is the key concept of thought about someone. The idea of blossoming love that withold four seasons only to be reborn and pursue again, I think is a perfect metaphor for mothers love and her trials with her adolesent children as it withelds any trials or harsh times and seems to be never-ending.
2.) What techniques did you use in the production of your work.
I used techniques such as double expsosure to create the mask effect of my mothers face on the outline of the tree, creating a sence of the face being embroided onto the tree and making it seems a if a symbolism of the person following the convenctions of the flowering tree, which was my aim. I also used technques to ehance the layerig effect by using foam board and the original photograph of my mother underneath double expsosure photograph. I than carved in using a scalpol following the tree bracnhes and trunks to suggest that my mother is the anchore and the support of our whole family and has made, my brother and I, who we are today.
3. How successful does the work explore the topic?
The work succesfully explores the topic of relationship as it looks at the connection between mother and daughter and conveys the sence of relationship through the personifcation and the symolisim of one’s thoughts used to establish the connnection between them. Thus forming a relationship between the two people used within the art-image.
4. How could the work be taken further
I could also use sticking to go around the outline of the face and for it to go off the page to suggest an external connection.
5. What do you understand about the topic chosen in relation to photograph tat you didn’t know before?
I have learnt a deaper understanding of portraying relationship instead of displaying the most obvious of displaying emotion and connection through the use of facial gestures and interactions. That relation can be established through colour, objects, lighting, interactions and that there could be a relation within everyhting it’s just the use of the establishment to help dertermine that.
