Week 11: Research and Influences for Final Folio

Throughout this week I decided to find more meaning to my art because the way that i pictured it in my head didn't work out according to the way that i wanted it. I thought about my presentation and exactly what i wanted to talk about and why i was showing the artwork that i wanted to show. It was hard to find meaning. I have completed a series of abstraction painting that i have recently done in the passed and i wanted to explore them digitally. I want to put five of them for my final works and then incorporate photos that i have taken of landscapes. For my presentation I did want to continue researching to make things more clear in what i wanted my body of work to show. I focused on displacement and because i didn't really put images in my artwork, i decided to displace colours, formations and use constrast to bring about a different effect. My original idea of placing objects in where they do exactly fit was hard in the sense that i kind of wanted to set up my own scenes of displacement but i found that my images weres really corresponding to what i wanted to show so i decided to make use of the images that I had.

There was a range of research and influences that i looked at such as this exhibition called displacement that was held in 2008. The exhibition promotes dialogue about rapid development that was imbracing, places, such as nature, communities, neighborhood, and the physical displacement of colours. Raphaele Shirley's work creates a space for artifical landscapes that highlights orginally. The work of an artist Irit Batsry challenges perception of reality using abstraction and memory. Her photos are distortions that dislodge visual expectations and sense of perception. Documenting a town and parks located in a small town. My imahes are aso relating to this arist because they were taken in a mall town in Bacchus Marsh showing the town setting. They interweave formal devices og photography and investigate perception.
