Week 16-17

Week 16 – 17

16^th November – 27^th November

Over the last two weeks I have been developing new methods of drawing, at first I started experimenting with wire as I would really like to do some sculptures and manipulate the metal. I started to draw some of the hair drawings in wire and even a square for the grid of faces.

I did however find inspiration in a unexpected place as I keep seeing faces in unfamiliar places. I have started drawing shapes and faces in hair as I keep seeing them in the shower and they come out really nice. I have since developed some of the pictures into drawings.  I have used a range of different mediums just to experiment with them all, I have used pens, ink, bleach and brusho paints as they have really bright colours. The drawing I developed can either be ethereal or sinister and I like that it has a character to it. I am thinking of developing all of my hair drawings into characters as that’s how I visualize them.

I have been researching it and it’s called Pareidolia, seeing face is unusual places, where your mind sees familiar patterns and determines them where there actually are none.
