#daytoday 2D

Today I photocopied some of my latest works and reversed the colours. Although I was impressed with the outcome of some of the photocopies I started to feel like I had lost my way a little and hit a bit of a wall.After having a discussion with the tutor and artist in residence they talked about how my work had developed a alot since the word ‘eviction’ and that due to the nature of the 2D work taking on almost a look of 3D work in the photocopies due to the dark background beside the swirl of galaxy like colours there was a feeling of a ‘void’ which could link with the emotions brought by homelessness. Tomorrow i hope to create further pieces inspired by this aspect and take it further forward.

Encouraged by my tutor i stripped work off my wall that wasn’t working and kept up those that were which really helped my vision in moving forward.

Mark Rothko-‘Black blue painting’ I Felt like this work related to some of my pieces where I had photocopied the emulsion with ink on it and reversed the colours.Rothko’s abstract work also has a feeling of a kind of ‘void’ about it which is very prominent in his darker painitng’s such as this one.I feel that some of my 2D work such as the tissue paper on ink and the emulsion piece have a feeling of being 3D even tho they are 2D which echoes alot of what Rothko’s pieces do.
