Week 15

Week 15

9^th November – 13^th November

This week I have been further developing my faceless faces but now I have been going back into them and thickening out the lines and giving them numbers linking this idea up to the beginning of the project when I was trying to give the girls in my studio a number like myself. If you take away the surrounding information then the narrative changes and these girls could be anyone. They could be prisoners, students, patients or lottery winners. All you have is a face and a number, which is why I wanted to give the faceless drawings numbers as it doesn’t matter who they are they are just people but once I gave them faces and expressions in different colours they completely change as they have expressions and more of a personality. I wanted to distort them further so I used a Kaleidoscope so segment the drawings, as I like the effect it gives. I have also been experimenting with layering images up to achieve a repeat pattern, I have done this on tracing paper so thy can be moved and manipulated.
