Week 10: Final Artwork

Having started to develop my concept through the use of paper, I have now arrived at a composition to take forward to final artwork.

 

The process used for the final artwork, although time consuming conveys the concept of the project successfully. The multiple layers depicted within the piece reperesnt the progressive nature of the lie and also the levels to which people within the story are so heavily influened by what they have been told and are seeing: ultimately the Emperor walking naked down the street.

The whiteness of the artwork adds depths to the piece as it does not deter from the overall effect and also has a direct link again to the concept. The fact that the artwork is not completely visible to the passing viewer highlights the fact that people know this is a blatant lie but cannot necessarily see the truth. I suppose the whiteness of the piece also relates to the innocence of the young child and his inability to realise that everyone is going along with the sharad. However, as this was not highlighted previously within my development process I cannot state this as being one of the focal points of the concept. In spite of this, if I was to develop the project further or take another approach, looking into the innocence of the child would be an interesting concept to develop.
