The last few days have been difficult.
This project I've set myself is about kindness, and the idea is to communicate the idea that kindness is the same all over the world. To make people think about it as an action, and hopefully create some form of positive social change.
I have asked my friends all over the world to send me their own personal definition of kindness. I started with Charlotte, using an image I took in Leeds to represent where she was when she thought about what she wrote.
The idea was to transform this into a screenprint. Digitally print the building, and then screenprint on top.
I am pleased with this image. But I'm not feeling it. This project is really important to me, and I want to do it properly. Im struggling to see the end result.
The work Ive produced lately has been so exciting to me, but this is making me feel a little flat.
Em gave me a really great crit today, and told me to go back to visual language in first year, and to start drawing from life again and I guess experience what it is Im drawing.
Which is really great advice. I need to strip it all back, stop relying on photoshop, and teach myself and remind myself about how best to communicate things.
The emotive aspect to this hasn't been there for me the last few days. Which is why Im going to leave this project for a little, and start on my fmp tomorrow. I thought this project would influence my fmp, but I think it needs to be the other way round. Documenting my dad is immediately personal to me, and something I care so much about. I will strip it all back and start to use my sketchbook to work through this creative block Im stuck in.
Hopefully this will work.
