Preliminary ideas to work on throughout semester 2/3:
- Pencil illustrations, explore the link of mushrooms and female anxiety/suffering. Try and introduce colour to work with it more
- Paintings/pastel drawings of detailed parts of mushrooms, explore the colours and textures. Explore the relation/similarities to genitalia
- Create textural collages of the tiny worlds of fungi/moulds/lichen
- Explore mushroom prints, onto photographic film or drawings
- Make more models in 3D printing, clay, paper
- Explore the idea of growing mould/mushrooms on books or figures/photographs
- Explore the theme of networks, roots, growth
- Explore the idea of making mackets/dioramas of murder scenes or related areas to depict the relation of mushroom growth and murders
Personal Goals:
- Try working with colour more
- Explore the abstract side of my work
- Try new mediums and styles: pastels, thick paints and making marks
- Do not other think or plan, try your ideas out as they come!!
