Making some figures for the class exchange gave me the opportunity to just make work without overthinking. After feeling a bit stuck and unsure of the direction of my current work, this exercise helped me to remember what is is that I like about the figure. this gave me the freedom to try to apply some of the input I have gotten on my work such as varring textural applications (using different brush sizes!), and including a bit more narative without spoon feeding. Anyway I had fun and I still like making people.

LOVE these. They all are sharing a "moment" with us as a viewer...without giving up too much of the narrative. It allows us to create our own "story." NICE work.
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting that these were pretty much the first pieces picked by the other grads to finish. They are great pieces, but I would think they are challenging to finish properly... Can't wait to see what is done with them.
ReplyDeleteI love these pieces too - I was disappointed not to get on in the exchange. There is a wonderful immediacy about them and the props are really engaging - I am totally stealing the telescope.
